Guard shoots at suspect in bank robbery BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com
Salisbury police are looking for a gunman who robbed the Bank of America on West Innes Street Tuesday afternoon. Police say the robber entered the bank and stood in the lobby for several minutes without interacting with anyone. He then ran over to the counter and scaled it. Taking out a handgun, he demanded cash from several of the tellers and left with an undisclosed amount of money. There were several employees and customers inside the bank at the time of the robbery, shortly after 4 p.m. Tuesday. One of the customers went outside to tell a private security guard
employed by the bank that it was being robbed. According to police, the security guard waited near the ATM and fired two gunshots in the direction of the robber as he ran out the door. One of the bullets struck a glass window on the SunTrust building across the street. No-one was injured by those gunshots or during the robbery. According to the Salisbury Police Department, the robber fled south across West Innes Street and continued on foot parallel to Ellis Street.Witnesses tried to follow him but lost sight of him among some houses. One of those witnesses was Charlotte resident John Kurc, who was standing at the ATM when the robbery occurred.
“I saw three guys run out the front door,” Kurc said. “I think they were customers... I was like, ‘Well, something’s not right,’ so I ran to my car.” Kurc said he watched as the man ran across the street and then followed him at a distance before losing him. William Brown, of Salisbury, pulled into a parking space in front of the bank just before the robber ran out. “At first, I didn’t notice the security guard,” Brown said. “Once I noticed him, I paused maybe two or three seconds before the other guy came out of the bank at a crouch... It all happened really fast.” Witnesses described the robber as

School system ahead of national curve on healthier school lunches BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com
You won’t find a salt shaker, fried food or trans fat in any of the cafeterias in the Rowan-Salisbury School System. Reducing sodium, switching to baking rather than frying and nixing foods with trans fats have propelled the school system ahead of the national nutritional
curve. “Every year we try to make our meals healthier,” Libby Post, the school system’s child nutrition director, said. “We have been focused on improving the quality and nutrition of our meals for years.” Those gradual steps will make it easier for the school system to comply with new guidelines released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture last month.
In an effort to combat childhood obesity, the USDA issued restrictions that will limit calories, ban trans fats, require more servings of fruits and vegetable and increase the amount of whole grains required in all lunches subsidized by the federal government. The changes mark the first major nutritional overhaul of student meals in 15 years and will take effect in 2012-13. Rowan-Salisbury is already opting to add more whole grains, fruits, vegetables and legumes to its menu offerings. A typical lunch includes selections

Lane Punch purchased, 50-60 to lose jobs B Y E MILY F ORD eford@salisburypost.com
Lane Punch, a precision metal manufacturer headquartered in Salisbury, has been purchased by a competitor and will close. Seventy-five employees at Lane Punch plants in Salisbury and Canton, Mich. will lose their jobs. An estimated 50 to 60 people work at the Salisbury location. The privately held company located just south of Peeler Road near Interstate 85 filed for bankruptcy in July. Dayton Progress Corporation, headquartered in Dayton, Ohio, bought the business last month. Dayton Progress anticipates transfering all production from the Lane plants to factories in Ohio, Canada, Mexico, Europe and Asia, according

Dayton Progress officials would not comment. According to the letter obtained from an employee, Dayton Progress bought the name, business, equipment, inventory and all other assets of Lane but not the land or buildings. Under bankruptcy procedures, Dayton did not assume any liabilities of Lane Punch, the letter said. Transfering production to other facilities will take six to nine months. During that time, Lane will remain open and Dayton will pay employees

A high-ranking officer is the fourth person implicated in the misconduct investigation at the Salisbury Fire Department. Battalion Chief Chris Lyerly was placed on paid administrative leave late Tuesday afternoon, according to a city official. Two other firefighters have been fired and one was suspended in connection with the ongoing investigation. The city has not disclosed the nature of the alleged improprieties. In other developments, Capt. Baxter “Buddy” Miller, who was fired Jan. 25, has formally requested an internal review of his termination, said Karen Wilkinson, pubLYERLY lic information officer. The city anticipates completing the review within the next 30 to 45 days, she said. Firefighter Castleman “Chet” Hedrick, who was placed on administrative leave and then suspended, has returned to work. Courtney Brown was the first firefighter terminated in connection with the investigation. She was fired Jan. 16 and did not appeal. South Salisbury Volunteer Fire Department dismissed Brown Jan. 20 for what Chief Cory Orbison called “conduct issues.” Lyerly has worked for the city of Salisbury since 1996 and was suspended for “misconduct/job performance” in 1999 when he worked as a utilities maintenance technician. He was transfered to Fire Control Specialist I in 2000 and promoted four times until he became a battalion chief in 2009. Lyerly is one of three battalion chiefs in the department, according to its website. Contact reporter Emily Ford at 704-797-4264.
China Grove hopes to transfer water and sewer to Salisbury system B Y S HAVONNE P OTTS spotts@salisburypost.com
CHINA GROVE — The water and sewer system has been a source of contention between the town and Salisbury-Rowan Utilities for a number of years, but following a Tuesday closed session meeting, China Grove may be a step closer to a solution. The town of China Grove receives water from SalisburyRowan Utilities. The town entered into an agreement more than a decade ago when it used more water. The town in the past has been in talks with Salisbury about a possible merger

On Tuesday, the board approved a resolution to transfer the water and sewer system to Salisbury. The town would enter into this new agreement only if Salisbury City approved the agreement. Salisbury meets later this month. It is unclear if this issue will appear on Salisbury council’s February agenda. If both parties agree to the

School ‘hit list’ prompts phone alert BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com
Officials have found a “hit list” of names in the possession of a student at Knox Middle School, according to Principal Rodney Burton. Burton called Knox parents Tuesday night to alert them to what he called a “hit list,” which was found in the possession of a student. In a recorded message, Burton said the incident was under investigation. The student who created the list had been identified and would be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, he said. He said that no one’s safety was compromised and although these situations are typically a hoax, the school treated it seriously. Burton did not disclose the names on the list. School Resource Officer Shanita Millsaps said she could not comment and referred questions to Salisbury Police Chief Rory Collins who could not be reached.

Momentum Construction was the lowest bidder with $1,790,000 out of 11 total bids received by the town. The board approved the lowest bidder at its Tuesday meeting. Local company, Crescent Construction, was in the top three, behind the top bidder by $78,000. The town received bid packages last month from local and out-oftown construction companies. Interim Town Manager Ken Deal said Momentum has worked with Duke Energy and has done work for the city of Charlotte. According to its website, the company has also worked with Subway restaurant, Little Caesars Pizza and Valero convenience store.

Before the renovation project begins, the town must obtain interim financing. The interim financing is basically a short-term loan. In its proposal, the bank said it would provide an interest rate of 1.5 percent for a term of 18 months. The other two banks were BB&T of Charlotte and local bank, CommunityOne of China Grove, which had the highest interest rate of 7.14 percent for the term of the facility. The USDA loan approved
in March 2010 takes effect only after construction. Once the bidding process is complete, the town has five years from that date to finish construction. The project will be done in two phases. In the first phase, town hall will be renovated with staff moving to the former South Rowan Medical Mall, at 308 E. Centerview St., just until staff can move to its permanent location on North Main Street. The medical mall is located between King Eye Center and Dr. Raymond
Lassiter’s dentist office. The administration department, which includes town hall staff will be at this location for 18 months while the fire/police station on Main Street is being renovated. The police staff will move into town hall and the fire department will move over to the police side while renovations are being completed to the fire station.

In an unusual development, the federal government has reopened an investigation into the violation of patient privacy rights at Rowan Regional Medical Center. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights closed the investigation Jan. 3 after the hospital agreed to undergo voluntary corrective action. But the complainant, former patient Jennifer Alexander, learned Tuesday the government has reopened the investigation, according to her attorney, Richard Rutledge Jr. of Winston-Salem. It was not immediately clear why federal investigators reopened the case. A spokeswoman for the Office for Civil Rights did not return a phone call from the Post. Rutledge said his client did not request the action and declined to comment on its significance. “Until I know something more, it’s hard to interpret what it might mean,” Rutledge said.
Rutledge represents Alexander in a civil lawsuit against the hospital, its owner Novant Health and two hospital employees for negligence, defamation, slander and invasion of privacy. The hospital pledged cooperation with the investigation. “At Rowan Regional Medical Center, our employees and physician partners each take our obligation to protect every patient’s privacy seriously,” spokeswoman Robin Baltimore said. “We will fully cooperate with the Office of Civil Rights and actively assist them throughout this investigation.” Alexander filed a HIPAA Privacy Rule complaint against the hospital in August, alleging that Rowan Regional inappropriately used and disclosed her protected health information and a hospital employee harassed her and her family.

Buy a pen, help a school BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com
Creative Teaching Aids is showing its support to local schools this month by proclaiming it “Love Your School Month.” During the month of February, the store at 310 S. Main St. will donate 10 percent of every sale to the school of each customer’s choice. “We hope we can make a small difference by giving back to the schools,” said Alan King, co-owner of Creative Teaching Aids. The contributions can be pledged to any school, public or private.
Alan and Joy King, Daryl and Pam Honeycutt and Steve and Mary Lynn Misenheimer came together to purchase the store last year after Ken and Margarete Crysel decided to retire. “One of the reasons we started this business is because we’re all retired educators, and we still wanted to KING have a place in the educational system and try to continue to contribute,” Alan King said.
King said looming state budget cuts prompted the store to host the promotion. “I’ve never experienced such potential serious cuts,” said King, who is a former assistant superintendent and principal with the Rowan-Salisbury School System. He said the promotion will benefit not only schools, but students as well. “Parent Teacher Associations, teachers and parents will be purchasing things that can help their children with literacy,” he said. “So it’s really a double bonus.” Contact reporter Sarah Campbell at 704-797-7683.

Argument turns violent BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com
Police are searching for a man who shot another man in the leg after an argument on Kenly Street shortly before 1 p.m. Tuesday. Officers with the Salisbury Police Department found Cecil William McCauley Sr., 56, lying on the ground conscious and talking, with a gunshot wound in the upper right thigh near his buttocks. He was taken to Rowan Regional Medical Center, where he was no longer listed as a patient Tuesday night. Authorities said McCauley and another man were argu-
ing in the driveway beside a house at 1200 Kenly St., off North Long Street. At some point during the argument, the other man pulled out a handgun and shot McCauley, who does not live at the house where the incident took place. The man who fired the shot then fled in an unknown direction. Officers searched the area Tuesday afternoon with the aid of a K-9 police dog but could not find him. The shooter was described as a young black male who is about 6 feet tall and weighs about 165 pounds. Contact reporter Karissa Minn at 704-797-4222
Makeover plans for downtown Kannapolis get a first look BY HUGH FISHER hfisher@salisburypost.com
KANNAPOLIS — Local officials got a first look Tuesday at suggestions for revitalizing Kannapolis' downtown district. At a joint meeting, the Kannapolis Planning Commission and Kannapolis City Council saw a draft of the Center City Master Plan, developed by staff based on studies performed in recent months. The goal of the meeting, according to Planning Director Ben Warren, was to give members of the
boards a chance to see preliminary ideas before getting feedback from the public. “We all know that issues related to downtown have been in peoples’ minds for a long time,” City Manager Mike Legg said. Making the issue more interesting is the city’s history and the composition of its downtown. David Murdock’s Atlantic American Properties owns most of downtown Kannapolis, land and buildings purchased from the former Cannon Mills Co. before the city was officially incorporated.
And Murdock’s Castle & Cooke develops the North Carolina Research Campus, the center of what planners have identified as “center city” Kannapolis. The draft master plan recounts these facts and lists 35 recommendations for improvements designed to draw residents, businesses and shoppers into downtown. Some of these are as simple as using empty stretches of land downtown as temporary parks. One suggestion use the empty lots to cultivate trees, which could then be planted elsewhere in the city.
The roads that border downtown are singled out for special attention. Planners recommend speeds on Dale Earnhardt Boulevard and Loop Road be lowered to 35 miles an hour. New traffic lights, bicycle lanes and landscaped medians are also suggested for downtown streets. Another suggestion that could draw new employees to town is a multi-jurisdictional courthouse. Kannapolis has no court facilities. A sub-courthouse to handle misdemeanors and traffic cases, plus satellite offices for Rowan and Cabarrus county officials, would also save res-
idents trips to Concord or Salisbury. Improvements to parks, pedestrian-friendly changes to roads and more housing geared toward researchers are also on the list. Comments from board members were generally positive. Planning Commission member Martha Macon said the suggestions could help efforts to bring life back to downtown. City Council member Ken Geathers asked why the plan didn’t take more neighborhoods near down-

$5 stolen from man after knife pulled Salisbury Police arrested a man Tuesday in connection with a robbery at knifepoint reported Saturday evening. Demario Antwan Brown, 24, of 1214 W. Horah St. in Salisbury, was arrested without incident at his home just after 2 a.m. Tuesday. Brown was charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon and placed in the Rowan County Detention Center under a $10,000 bond. According to a report from the Salisbury Police Department, Brown pulled a knife on Salisbury resident Kristopher Schmidt, of 907 W. Horah St., and took $5 in cash. Police are still looking for suspects connected with two other weekend crimes, includ-
ing an armed robbery of the Safety Taxi shortly after midnight Monday. The robber came into the Safety Taxi building at 226 E. Fisher St., held an employee at gunpoint and took an unknown amount of money out of a locked desk, according to the police report. Witnesses described him to police as a black male weighing about 150 pounds and standing about 5 feet 10 inches or 5 feet 11 inches tall.

In other business The China Grove board also: • Approved to reduce the speed limit in the Mill Village area. The board agreed with Police Chief Eddie Kluttz’s recommendation to change the speed limit from 35 mph to 25 mph on some roads within the community because the roads are narrow and children are picked up and dropped of by school buses. The roads that will be affected, include streets south of Thom Street, east of U.S. 29, north of Bostian road and west of Central Avenue. There have been a number of accidents in those areas, none of which had to do with speed, but rather road conditions. Kluttz said in a memo there is no sidewalk on any of the above streets except Alexander
Place and there are no crosswalk markings at any intersection within the community. Kluttz said during the meeting it will cost the town to erect new signs. Councilman Charles Seaford suggested the board adopt it and then enforce it when the signs are put up. Kluttz said officers will handle enforcement of the area and let residents know of the impending change. • Approved a records retention schedule that allows the town to destroy dated records that have no purpose without having to get permission from the Local Goverment Commission. Many other municipalities have approved similar agreements. The town will have all material that isn’t required to be kept shredded.

KANNAPOLIS FROM 3a town, such as Midway. Planners said they wanted to focus on the area closest to Kannapolis’ traditional center. Councilman Roger Haas said Kannapolis could easily become a modern, livable community. He compared plans for downtown to development in Huntersville, where Discovery Place has opened a children’s museum. “To me, Kannapolis could be the perfect place for one of those,” Haas said. Legg said that the city has had some discussions with Discovery Place on that topic, but nothing further. Councilman Darrell Hinnant said his concern was that these suggestions not be allowed to lose momentum. “We need to keep moving forward,” he said. “What do we do to make these a reality?” The public will have an opportunity to view the master plan and comment on it in the coming weeks. After those suggestions have been taken into account, the Center City Master Plan will go back to the Planning Commission, then to the City Council for final hearings and eventual approval.

State lawmakers question beach driving plan RALEIGH (AP) — Three members of North Carolina’s congressional delegation are concerned about a federal proposal that would prohibit vehicles from accessing about 40 percent of a popular Outer Banks seashore. Sens. Kay Hagan and Richard Burr along with Rep. Walter Jones say an overly restrictive plan will hurt families and businesses in the area. In a letter released Tuesday, the three asked
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar to maximize public access to beaches. A final environmental impact statement released by the National Park Service in November recommends that drivers be barred from accessing 26 miles of the 67-mile Cape Hatteras National Seashore. The proposal tries to mediate a dispute between environmentalists and outdoor enthusiasts. “We are concerned that this environ-

Retirement age arrives, brothers keep working BY RICHARD CRAVER Winston-Salem Journal
WINSTON-SALEM (AP) — The retirement plans of local businessman Jim Ingram are quite simple. There are none. “I expect to die on the job,” Ingram, 71, a co-owner of Piedmont Industrial Coatings Inc., said while sitting at his desk. Although Ingram pronounced his strategy with a wry smile, there was no doubt about his sincerity. “It’s a lot more fun to work when you don’t have to work, and especially when you don’t have to work for someone else,” Ingram said. “We’ve got what we call a leisure business, but we’re working owners.” It’s a sentiment echoed by Tom Ingram, 81, his older brother and fellow co-owner. “As long as our health permits, we don’t plan to retire,” said Tom Ingram, who founded the company in 1977 as Ingram Auto Parts off University Parkway back when there was more farmland in the area than businesses. “Two heads are better than one,” Tom Ingram said. “Jim is better with the mechanical and technical side of the business, while I’m more the figures person, so we make a great team. We may not always agree, but we’ll stand by each other’s decisions.” The Ingrams have genetics and longevity on their side. Their father, Collie, lived to age 95, and their mother, Elizabeth, died at age 84 after being a 40-year cancer survivor. The company evolved into Piedmont Industrial in 1994 when the brothers chose to focus on a niche of providing specialized paints and supplies for metal products to light- and medium-industrial manufacturers. The store is relatively modest, with older computer and telecommunications equipment that keeps on trucking like the brothers, and a mixing center next to the office. Although walk-in business for touch-up auto-paint jobs is welcome, most of their customers order in bulk and early in the day and week. The brothers declined to provide the company’s annual revenue, but said they make enough to enjoy a comfortable living and take care of their four employees. “We’ve got good people working for us, good relations with our vendors and customers, and I don’t remember seeing anything in the Bible about retirement,” Tom Ingram said.
“I don’t want to sit at home in the easy chair watching television. Men live longer when they continue to do something to stay busy.” But, raising his eyebrow for emphasis, Tom Ingram cautioned that people “need to get out of a high-pressure job when they can.” Taking their own advice, the brothers alternate 40-hour and 16-hour work weeks. The brothers left supervisory roles — Tom Ingram as a district manager for Roadway Express and Jim Ingram as a service manager for Xerox — within three months of each other in 1977. Tom Ingram said he’d had enough when he realized he was barely seeing his kids grow up while he worked as a district manager in Dallas. “We had both had about enough of the rat race, and we knew we wanted to keep our promise to go into work together,” Tom Ingram said. After researching the autosupply sector, Tom Ingram took some of his Roadway stock to get the business started. “We just knew that with Wake Forest nearby and the residential growth that was coming, the retail and the businesses would come after us,” Jim Ingram said. “It would have been nice to have been able to afford to buy more land back then, but starting the business was enough for us.” The company gained a reputation for great customer service and the ability to secure hard-to-find products. “That’s the best advertisement you’ll ever get,” Tom Ingram said. Over time, they developed relationships with two national suppliers — PPG Industries for the paint and National Oak Distributors Inc. for parts and equipment. In recent years, they have settled on a 75 percent industrial paint and 25 percent auto paint balance. The recession took its toll on the brothers’ business, which dropped nearly 35 percent. Instead of trimming their work force, the brothers chose to cut their compensation from the company. With orders revving back up, the Ingrams are optimistic that the store will stay as busy as they want it to. “We’ve gotten plenty of offers for the business, but none of them have made the right sense,” Tom Ingram said. “We’ve said that if one of us gets too sick to do their job, we’ll get out together, and we’ll do it without any regrets.”

mental impact analysis does not appear to reflect the input of local residents and businesses,” the lawmakers say in their letter. The proposal allows drivers to have year-round access to about 28 miles of the seashore while another 13 miles would be open seasonally to off-road vehicles. “Beach access is critical to the Dare County economy,” said Hagan.

CHICAGO (AP) — A winter weather colossus roared into the nation’s heartland Tuesday, laying down a paralyzing punch of dangerous ice and whiteout snow that served notice from Texas to Maine that the storm billed as the worst in decades was living up to the hype so far. The system that stretched more than 2,000 miles across a third of the country promised to leave in its aftermath a chilly cloak of teeth-chattering cold, with temperatures in the single digits or lower.
Dow above 12,000 for 1st time since ’08 NEW YORK (AP) — Two years ago, the stock market was roadkill along the financial highway. Now one of the greatest bull markets in history is rolling along — maybe enough to finally get the attention of average investors. The Dow Jones industrial average closed above 12,000 for the first time in two and a half years Tuesday, putting the Great Recession even farther in the rearview mirror and erasing most of the damage it inflicted on tens of millions of retirement accounts. A broader measure of the stock market, the Standard & Poor’s 500 index, closed above 1,300 for the first time since Aug. 28, 2008. And at least one widely watched measure suggests stocks are still cheap by historical standards.
U.S. diplomats may be left at risk in Iraq WASHINGTON (AP) — American diplomats and other mission employees may not be safe in Iraq if the U.S. military withdraws its remaining 50,000 troops and leaves the volatile country at the end of the year as planned, according to a new Senate report released Tuesday. The report by the Foreign Relations Committee puts new pressure on a delicate diplomacy between Washington and Baghdad to decide what future role American troops will have in Iraq — if at all — before they start withdrawing this summer. At least 159 Iraqi citizens and 100 police and soldiers were killed in insurgent attacks in January — the deadliest month for Iraq since September, according to data released Tuesday by security and health ministry officials in Baghdad.
Spending cap would cut Social Security WASHINGTON (AP) — Social Security, Medicare and virtually every other federal program would face the budget ax under legislation unveiled Tuesday aimed at forcing Congress to dramatically cut spending over the coming decade. The bill, co-sponsored by Sens. Claire McCaskill, DMo., and Bob Corker, RTenn., would phase in a federal spending cap of just more than 20 percent of the size of the economy, which they said would wring almost $8 trillion from the budget over the coming 10 years. Cuts of that magnitude would have to fall heavily on Social Security and Medicare, the retirement programs whose costs are being driven sky-high by the retirement of the baby boom generation.
Zsa Zsa Gabor hit with new infection LOS ANGELES (AP) — Zsa Zsa Gabor has a high fever, fluid in her lungs, an infection that developed after her recent leg amputation, and hasn’t recognized anyone since the surgery, leading doctors to say she probably suffered a stroke, her husband said Tuesday. Frederic Prinz von Anhalt was at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center with his wife as doctors worked to stabilize her in the emergency room. Gabor, whose 94th birthday is Sunday, ate breakfast then started spitting up blood and was running the fever, von Anhalt said. “The doctor told me her leg is infected again. They have to treat it right now.”
Special flag for veterans divides families of KIA DENVER (AP) — The simple banner is designed to honor those who served and died in the military. But a national campaign to add the red-andwhite “Honor and Remember” flag to official U.S. flag displays on military holidays is creating painful divisions among veterans and the relatives of loved ones killed in action. For lawmakers nationwide, the “Honor and Remember” debate forces an uncomfortable question: Who can say what should be done to honor people who died for the country? The banner — a red-andwhite background with a star, an eternal flame and the words “HONOR AND REMEMBER” — was conceived by a Virginia man, George Lutz, who lost his son in Iraq in 2005. Lutz has visited all 50 states to promote its display beneath the American flag and the POW/MIA flag adopted by Congress in 1989. Delaware, North Carolina, Oklahoma and Virginia have adopted the banner, and federal legislation to do so is pending for a third consecutive year in Congress. “It’s public recognition of the price of freedom, and I don’t think we can do that enough,” said Lutz, of Chesapeake, Va., who has gathered signatures of support from countless relatives of fallen service members and many public officials, including governors and members of Congress. Lutz says the campaign helps him mourn his son, Pfc. George Anthony “Tony” Lutz II, killed at age 25. “It’s a great idea,” said Rep. Randy Forbes, R-Va., who has sponsored bills in Congress requiring the “Honor and Remember” flag to be flown under the national flag and POW/MIA flag at federal
buildings on federal holidays. “There was no flag that was separate and apart to honor those who had given their lives in the defense and honor of the country,” Forbes said. But many oppose the new banner’s display alongside Old Glory. In Colorado, state senators last week rejected a second attempt to have the “Honor and Remember” flag flown over the state Capitol on Memorial Day and Veterans Day. The decision literally brought tears to the eyes of some on the Senate State Veterans and Military Affairs Committee after hours of emotional testimony from veterans. “We believe Old Glory is the only flag we want representing us,” said Marvin Meyers, former chairman of the Colorado Board of Veterans’ Affairs. “We fought for it. We’re buried under it.” “We don’t need any other flag other than the United States flag — the flag of our country,” said Ralph Bozella, a Vietnam veteran and current chairman of the Colorado Board of Veterans’ Affairs. But others argue that the American flag is too multifaceted to simply honor those killed in war. They point out that while the nation observes the POW/MIA flag, fallen veterans don’t have a flag of their own. “I know there are some veterans that are adamantly opposed to it, and I respect that,” said Molly Morel of Martin, Tenn., whose son, Marine Capt. Brent Morel, died in Afghanistan. Molly Morel is president of the nation’s largest organization for mothers who have lost children in battle, American Gold Star Mothers, created after World War I. She’s a passionate supporter of the “Honor and Remember” flag and
has one embroidered with her son’s name. Morel says she doesn’t understand why some veterans chafe at including the flag on official displays. “Does America have too many reminders about the sacrifices? I don’t think so,” Morel said. Prominent military historians are skeptical about the new banner. Andrew Wiest, a historian at the University of Southern Mississippi who specializes in the Vietnam War, says the POW/MIA flag was adopted in “a fit of national conscience and remorse” over how Vietnam veterans were treated when they returned home. “The national flag is supposed to represent everything, the sacrifice of all veterans,” Wiest said. The debate is giving public officials an uncomfortable choice between veterans’ groups and grieving relatives. The national American Legion
associated press
Lona Bader, left, and penni Harrison hold the “Honor and remember” flag. Both women lost loved ones in the military. and Veterans of Foreign Wars groups haven’t taken positions on the banner, though many state chapters oppose its inclusion. “This is gut-wrenching,” said Colorado Sen.

Charlotte selected for 2012 Democratic convention
DO YOU HAVE TOENAIL FUNGUS ON BIG TOE? AssOCiAtED pREss
Charlotte Mayor Anthony Foxx, right, and Duke Energy CEO Jim Rogers, left, react during a news conference to announce Charlotte as the site of the 2012 Democratic National Convention. will be invaluable. Democratic National Committee member and veteran national convention attendee Ed Turlington of Raleigh said he believes the Charlotte convention will be “a plus up and down the ticket” by creating an enthusiasm that only a once-in-a-generation event will bring. Obama edged Republican John McCain in 2008 by about 14,000 votes among more than 4.3 million votes cast to put the state’s electoral votes in the Democratic column for the first time since 1976. “This will help Democrats get our message out, give a boost to our organizational efforts and greatly increase our chances to carry the state in 2012,” said U.S. Rep. David Price, D-N.C., a former state party executive director in the late 1970s. North Carolina Republican leaders weren’t necessarily dismissive of Charlotte’s prize, saying it was an honor for the state to be selected for a national party convention. But GOP Chairman Robin Hayes said Tuesday that won’t be enough for Obama and Perdue to win re-election because Democrats will have to answer for what he called “their misguided policies” on
spending and government. “I’m sure it will energize a number of Democrats but what it will do also is showcase what they stand for and that gives people a reason to come and vote and say, ‘I don’t believe that’ or ‘I do believe that,’” said GOP state Sen. Bob Rucho of Charlotte. “So this is something that I welcome to the state.” Another Charlotte lawmaker, Democratic Rep. Becky Carney, said Democratic activists already were starting to come out of their malaise following the election, which also saw some positives for the state party. Republicans managed to defeat only one of the four Democratic congressional incumbents targeted by outside groups this cycle, leaving Democrats with a 7-6 majority in the state’s delegation. She said people contacting her and her office already were getting motivated to work for change despite the new GOP majority. The convention announcement, she said, “is the icing on the cake.” “This sort of put the Energizer Bunny right on us,” he said.
Raleigh passes ban on smoking in public parks RALEIGH (AP) — Smoking will soon be illegal in nearly all of Raleigh’s parks. The City Council passed the ban Tuesday, and it goes into effect on July 1. Supporters say the ban will both improve the quality of air and the park and cut down on litter from cigarette butts. The ban won’t apply to Nash Square and Moore Square downtown because those parks

The rate increased in 27 counties and remained the same in seven. “Rates were down in nearly two-thirds of the state’s counties over-the-month,” said ESC Chairman Lynn R. Holmes. “Continued focus on job growth and finding work for our customers remains our priority.” North Carolina had 40 counties that were at or below the state’s unadjusted unemployment rate of 9.7 percent.

RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina Democrats down in the dumps after losing complete control of the Legislature for the first time in 112 years celebrated Tuesday after learning the national party chose Charlotte for its 2012 party convention. With Republicans flexing their political muscles following their Election Day gains, the state Democrats got a needed morale boost with the Democratic National Convention’s announcement they hope will build momentum all the way to the November 2012. They see Charlotte’s pick over St. Louis as proof President Obama’s is ready to fight hard to win again the state’s 15 electoral votes and bring Gov. Beverly Perdue along with him for victory, just like he did in 2008. “Obviously North Carolina is in play for the president of the United States in 2012,” new state party Chairman David Parker said in an interview. “This is a confidence message for everybody.” The September 2012 convention, however, is a lifetime away in politics, and it’s unclear whether Obama’s presence will be a boon or burden to Perdue, who defeated former Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory in 2008 in the closest margin in a gubernatorial race since 1972. A repeat matchup is likely. Perdue’s victory was buoyed by Democrats who came to vote in record numbers for Obama. For the Democrats, Charlotte’s choice is “a boost. It’s a victory. It’s a morale booster,” said Andy Taylor, a political science professor at North Carolina State University in Raleigh. “Whether that has any real spillover in the performance in the polls in November 2012 is a different kind of question.” While Taylor predicted the convention would have little or no effect on either of the major parties, state Democratic leaders said the publicity and excitement generated by the convention to promote the Democrats on the ballot

Kickin’ recipes for
Kick-off time combine the hot sauce and butter in a microwave-safe container and cook in microwave until melted. Shake the wings in the sauce and enjoy!
BY PEGGY JUDD For the Salisbury Post
uper Bowl Sunday is a perfect time for friends, fun and food. Lots of food. Tasty, rich food. Sometimes, fattening and fake food, with ingredient names few people can pronounce. During Super Bowl XLV, eliminate the processed foods, the fake cheese and the empty calories and indulge in “real” and nutritious treats. Try some of these recipes for homemade and delicious crowd pleasers. They are easy to prepare from easy-to-find ingredients. Round out the table with platters of sliced fruit and fresh veggies—which will go amazingly well with creamy queso dip. If time is limited, try some healthier and more natural heat-and-eat options. Serve Terra brand Exotic Vegetable Chips with Newman’s Own Chunky Salsa or Orville Redenbacher’s Natural Lime and Salt popcorn. For appetizers try Alexia brand all-natural beer-battered cheddar bites, Star Bites brand Natural Ham and Cheese Rolls, or a box of Athens brand all-natural mixed appetizers. Serve Newman’s Own brand thin and crispy pizza with a sixpack of Hansen’s brand natural soda. There are several “real” food options in the freezer section of the local grocery store; it just takes a little perusing of the ingredient labels to find the best options. Here are some recipes for tasty, real game-day snacks.
S
Baked Hot Wings (Packers’ Fans) ¾ C. all-purpose flour ½ tsp. cayenne pepper ½ tsp. garlic powder ½ tsp. salt 20 chicken wings ½ C. butter ½ C. hot sauce (Frank's RedHot, for example) Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and lightly grease with cooking spray. Place the flour, cayenne pepper, garlic powder and salt into a resealable plastic bag, and shake to mix. Add the chicken wings, seal, and toss until well coated with the flour mixture. Place the wings onto the prepared baking sheet, and place into the refrigerator. Refrigerate at least 1 hour. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine butter and hot sauce in a microwave-safe dish and heat in microwave until melted. Dip the wings into the butter mixture, and place back on the baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, and crispy on the outside, about 45 minutes. Turn the wings over halfway during cooking so they cook evenly. Enjoy with Newman’s Own ranch dressing.
Thin and Crispy Pizza
Make-ahead Frozen Meatballs
Ingredients for crust:
(serve with creamy queso)
¾ C. water ¼ tsp. sugar 1 packet active yeast (.25 ounces) 1 ¾ C. unbleached white flour 2 heaping Tbs. Seasonings (such as Lawry’s Pepper Seasoning salt or Cajun seasoning) Flour for sprinkling Cornmeal
3 eggs 1 small onion, chopped 1 1⁄3 C. bread crumbs (or cooked brown rice) 1½ tsp. Worcestershire sauce 1 Tbs. Italian herb blend ½ tsp. pepper 3 pounds ground beef Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Add everything but the beef and mix well. Add beef and mix well again. Shape meat into 2-inch balls (about 50 meatballs). Place in single layers on ungreased 1- inch-deep baking pans and bake for 15 minutes or until done. Drain the fat. Once the meatballs and pans have cooled to the touch, place the meatballs (tray and all) into your freezer to “flash freeze” them. After they’ve frozen (about an hour) remove the meatballs from the trays and transfer to plastic freezer storage bags. Store in freezer and remove only as many meatballs as you need at a time. Flash freezing maintains the individual shape so the meatballs will not stick together. Reheat on the stove in sauces or in the oven (350 degrees for 20 minutes).
Queso (Creamy Mexican Cheese Dip —without Velveeta!)
1 egg yolk 1 Tbs. flour 1 Tbs. milk 1 C. cream 1 C. milk 8 ounces grated cheddar cheese 4 ounces cream cheese (optional) 14-ounce can diced tomatoes & green chiles, drained Salt and chipotle chili powder to taste
Toppings: Your choice

First, create the thickener that will bind the cheese together and keep it from turning into a nasty, oily mess when it melts. Whisk egg yolk, flour and 1 tablespoon milk until smooth. Next, pour cream and milk into a saucepan and warm over medium heat. Gently stir in the thickener and continue stirring until the cream starts to thicken. Add the grated cheese and small spoonfuls of the cream cheese. Lower heat to medium low, and continue stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce is creamy. Remove from heat and stir in tomatoes and diced green chiles. Add salt and chipotle chili powder to taste, stirring everything until evenly distributed.
Sweet Potato Fries with ChipotleMayonnaise Dip For the fries: 2 large sweet potatoes Olive oil 1 tsp. sea salt 2 cloves minced garlic 1 tsp. dried rosemary ½ tsp. paprika ½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
For the dip: 3 Tbs. mayonnaise 1 tsp. apple cider vinegar ½ tsp. chipotle chili powder 2 Tbs. finely chopped fresh cilantro Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees. Cut sweet potatoes into fries no more than a halfinch thick. In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil and spices and toss the fries until evenly coated. Bake in a single layer on a large baking sheet for 20 minutes. Turn the fries over and bake for 20-25 minutes more, depending on desired crispiness. While the fries are baking, combine all the dip ingredients and stir together until creamy and smooth. Serve the sweet potato fries hot with a healthy dollop of dip.
Ultimate Nachos ¾ C. cooked black beans (low-sodium, if canned) 1½ C. cooked brown rice 1½ pound ground beef or chicken, chopped 1 packet McCormick Taco seasoning (No added MSG label) ¾ C. sharp cheddar cheese,
grated 10 6-inch corn tortillas (makes 40 chips, or use preservative-free corn tortilla chips by Snyder's of Hanover) Coconut oil, for frying Toppings: Shredded lettuce Chopped fresh tomato Sliced black olives Sour cream Chunky salsa Heat oven to 250 degrees. In a large skillet, cook beef or chicken with the McCormick taco seasoning according to packet directions. Drain extra juices and mix in beans and rice. Spread the mixture evenly onto an oven-safe pan or plate, top with grated cheese, and slide it into the oven to warm. Meanwhile, melt coconut oil to a depth of about 1 inch and heat on medium heat until a drop of water sizzles (this oil is healthier than canola, but has a lower burning point, so don’t let it become so hot that it smokes). Cut the tortillas into quarters and fry in batches until golden brown, turning once. Place chips on paper towels on another oven-safe plate and keep warm in oven.
When the meat-bean-rice mixture is hot and the cheese is melted, remove from the oven and top with plenty of lettuce, tomatoes and olives. Put a healthy dollop of sour cream and chunky salsa on the side, and dip the chips individually into the nacho plate.
Baked Hot Wings (Steelers’ fans) 1 pound chicken wings 1 Tbs. cayenne pepper 1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes 1 Tbs. salt ½ C. hot sauce (Texas Pete, for example) ¼ C. butter Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Fill a large pot halfway with water and add wings, cayenne pepper, pepper flakes and salt. Bring to a boil for 15 minutes. Transfer wings to a greased baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes on each side (Bake for 20 minutes for crispier wings). Enjoy with Newman’s Own blue cheese dressing. While waiting for wings,
Heat water in microwave-safe bowl for 30 seconds or to 110 degrees. Stir in sugar until dissolved, and sprinkle yeast over the surface. Let sit for about 8 minutes or until yeast is foamy. Whisk seasonings and flour together, then mix in yeast. Scrape onto a flour powdered board and knead for 2 minutes, adding a sprinkling of flour if needed to keep dough from sticking. Place in bowl, cover, and let rise for 10 minutes. Spread dough onto greased pizza pan, sprinkling with cornmeal to prevent it sticking to fingers. Turn on oven to 450 degrees, place pan on top and let rise for another 10 minutes while the oven preheats. While the dough is completing its various risings, gather together your desired toppings. For extra flavor, substitute salsa for half of the pizza sauce. If you’re using mozzarella cheese, you can use less if you add some feta cheese or some sharp cheddar to bump up the flavor. Make the toppings an excuse to add nutrition: bell peppers, portabella mushrooms, fresh spinach, chopped tomatoes and roasted sunflower seeds mix deliciously with pepperoni, sausage and black olives.

Wife finds husband’s problems concerning fatherhood inconceivable Dear Inconceivable: I don’t know you or your husband, but despite your professed confusion, you actually paint a pretty clear picture. Your husband won’t agree to fertility testing because he doesn’t want to have a child. I think you are probably correct to assume that his financial habits provide a way for him to run from fatherhood. That’s one way to interpret his behavior. Or — without getting too fancy about it — you could say that he is irresponsible, or childish, or simply ill equipped or unwilling to handle fatherhood. You should ask your husband to be an honest partner and lay all of your mutual issues on the table, without the risk of you freaking out during this high-stakes conversation.
If he doesn’t want to have a child, you will then have to make some decisions about your life. Couples therapy (including financial counseling) will help both of you to clarify what seems murky. Dear Amy: I am a seventh-grade girl. I have been having trouble with a guy at my school. We’ll call him “Chas.” Me, my friend and one other girl all like him. Chas has shown some interest in asking all three of us out. To make matters worse, our Valentine’s dance at school is coming up. The three of us girls decided that we won’t be mad at whoever Chas asks to the dance. But to add even another problem, we all have other “crushes” as well. I thought I only liked Chas, but in the past couple of weeks, I have seen a guy who I like even more. We’ll call him “Randy.” Randy has also shown an interest in at least talking to me. I think

• Green bag investment. I am a big fan of “green” bags. They are reusable bags that keep my fruits and vegetables fresher longer, saving me money because I’m not throwing away spoiled or inedible produce. I bought bananas and put them in the bag, and a week later, they were still not brown. I also bought green leaf lettuce, and it lasted about 10 days and was still crisp. There are several different brands available. They do cost about $10 for 20, but in the long run, they save me money. — Mary Lynn, Kentucky

You and your friends are starting to choreograph a dance you’ll be performing for the rest of your lives. For now you should do your “dating” as a group. If you don’t pair off, you won’t have to worry about a boyfriend relationship interfering with your friendships, and you’ll be free to enjoy your crush-of-the-day.

• Shopping surprises. I’ve found it pays to check tags, containers and boxes when shopping in stores. I found a pair of my size shoes in a box marked with a different size. I’ve found clothing items that were my size but with the wrong tags attached, and I’ve found items misplaced on shelves. When I have extra time, I thoroughly search through a store, often finding what I’m looking for or discovering bargains that were hidden. — Glynis,

Last week, I threw out what looked like perfectly good food. It hurt me terribly, but I wasn’t willing to run the risk of preparing stuffing that was so old the “use by” date was back in the 1990s. It looked great at the back of the pantry but gave me a false sense of preparedness. If only I’d had some method for rotation of my stockpiled inventory, I might have prevented this waste. Thanks MARY to today’s first tipster, I've got HUNT a plan. And a pile of stickers. • Tag those items. When I get home from the store, I put a little sticker with the day’s date on each item. That way, my family knows when we bought the can, the chips, the toy or whatever it is. This helps us to use up items that are nearing their expiration or “use by” dates. — Jeannie,

Dear Amy: My husband and I have been married for seven years. We have been trying to conceive a child for the past six years. I have had two procedures done and my doctor says I’m healthy and should not have any trouble conceiving a baby. We both really want to start a family, but it seems as if he doesn’t really want to because he says nothing is physically wrong with him and he reASK fuses to get AMY checked because he say’s he’s embarrassed. We had a chance to adopt a child, but we came to realize that we can’t afford it because my husband is really “loan happy.” We have been stuck in this rut of constantly paying off various loans for years now. I feel like him getting these loans is a way to run from the whole baby situation.

CAMPAIGN SOLICITATION
Goodwin’s bad move lights of rhetoric seem to come naturally to Wayne Goodwin, North Carolina’s voluble insurance commissioner. But Goodwin outdid himself the other day in hitting up special interests for campaign contributions. The rules prevent political action committees, or PACs, from donating to state officials while the General Assembly is in session. And Goodwin, to remain eligible for the public campaign financing that he has used, can’t take PAC contributions after July 31 for a 2012 re-election bid. In other words, time was of the essence when he sent a recent e-mail. The Legislature was about to convene, and any PACmen who wanted to make sure they were in his good graces needed to pony up post haste. Where Goodwin went overboard was in larding up his solicitation with a litany of his office’s considerable powers. The News & Observer’s Under the Dome supplied details gory enough to bear repeating: “As insurGOODWIN ance commissioner, I have an impact on billions of dollars in the commercial marketplace, millions of jobs, and millions of families,” Goodwin wrote. “And, the impact of the insurance commissioner’s decisions and service is not just on insurance, insurance companies, brokers and agents. This office also regulates construction and building code, public safety, collection agencies, banks and the tobacco industry (to a limited degree), premium finance companies, bail bondsmen, etc. Plus, the office has an indirect impact on economic development, health care, medical providers, pharmaceuticals, medical and hospital facilities, etc.” Whew! He might not have meant it that way, but the implication was that anyone connected with those various industries, issues and activities would not want to get crosswise with Wayne Goodwin. The very thought might tend to make PAC pocketbooks pop open. Goodwin is a former legislator who made the switch into insurance regulation under the guidance of the late Commissioner Jim Long and then won election to the post in 2008. He is smart and hardworking. Next time he goes to raising money, though, he needs to dial it back — and better yet, take the PACs off his mailing list.

Moderately Confused
or days, Obama administration officials stared fiercely yet fearfully at Egypt’s people-power revolution, struggling to see the road ahead and where it was taking us all. Like truck drivers struggling to negotiate a perilously dark and slippery mountain road, they frantically shifted gears, hit the brakes, then the gas, hoping but never knowing for sure if they could get us safely to where we need to be. Despite their impressive intelligence and strength, they were clearly unable to gauge the power and potential of the democracy force that swiftly toppled Tunisia’s dictator and was now sweeping the autocratic Arab world. All modern U.S. presidents have championed the power of the MARTIN dream of democracy. SCHRAM Yet President Barack Obama was discovering what his predecessors had discovered the hard way. Even the best and brightest of U.S. and global intelligence experts, who can calibrate superbly the impact of military and economic power, seem destined to forever underestimate what the power of the people can do to people of power. From the CIA to the KGB, from MI6 and MI5 to Mossad, all the experts failed to anticipate that people power could really topple the Shah of Iran, the Berlin Wall, the Communist regimes in Eastern Europe and the superpower that was the Soviet Union. So, this past week, top Obama officials apparently miscalculated in private and clearly misspoke in public. Then they regrouped, recalculated, and apparently worked behind the curtain more effectively than they had onstage. Consider the events of Tuesday, Jan. 25: In Cairo, thousands of protesters, buoyed by the success of the Tunisia demonstrations, took to the streets demanding an end to the autocratic rule of President Hosni Mubarak, who has been a stalwart U.S. ally in the Arab world and had maintained his nation's peace treaty with Israel. In Washington, hours later, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton confi-

Church has lost faithful members As a member of Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Boyden Quarters, I would like to comment on Rev. Corey Barr’s influencing the members to vote out seven faithful members of the church. Most of the members voted out have been members all their lives and helped our church to grow to what it is today. They attended and supported every function held at the church. They brought and prepared food, cleaned in and around the church. They were the backbone of our church. Now we have a man, Reverend Barr, come to our church and tear it apart. We have family members against each other as well as people who have been friends all their lives against each other. Mt. Zion used to be a loving and caring church. I feel as though now that I have voiced my opinion, I will be the next one voted out. I hope you so-called Christians are able to live with yourselves. In my opinion, what Reverend Barr has done is wrong, and supporting his action rather than standing up for the individuals who have been a part of the growth and development of Mt. Zion is cowardly. As faithful followers of Christ, it’s our duty to be fair in our actions. What would we do if every time God weren’t in agreement with our actions, he decided to vote us out of Christianity or, even better, heaven? The Christian is a representation of Christ’s ways and actions, and I refuse to believe that the actions of Reverend Barr would be acceptable to Christ. There is always a positive resolution in all situations, and unfortunately that avenue was overlooked in this scenario at Mt. Zion. — Barbara Summers
dently declared at a press conference: “Our assessment is that the Egyptian government is stable ...” Hours later, Obama delivered his State of the Union address in which he hailed the people's toppling of Tunisia's dictator, but made no mention of what was happening in Egypt. He merely said the United States “supports the democratic aspirations of all people.” Two days later, Clinton was sounding a far firmer line on Egypt, calling Mubarak's shutting down access to the Internet, cell phone texting, Facebook and Twitter in Egypt "unprecedented." Obama telephoned Mubarak and addressed the American people, urging Egypt to assure people’s free speech and access to the Internet and social media. Yet, that same Thursday evening, Vice President Joe Biden appeared on PBS’ NewsHour and was asked by Jim Lehrer if Mubarak should relinquish power. “No,” Biden replied, “I think the time has come for President Mubarak to begin to move in the direction that — to be more responsive to some of the needs of the people out there.” Lehrer next noted the way the Cold War ended, and now the dictatorship in Tunisia and asked about Egypt: “Do you smell the same thing com-

robberies and assaults reported at this location happen elsewhere. If you are buying drugs or soliciting sex, you can’t put that in a police report. So you go to a public place and say the offense happened there. With the additional cameras at the store, this should no longer be a problem. With the click of a button, police will know immediately if an offense happened on store property. According to the article, Collins said he would like to see the store stop selling alcohol before 2 a.m., the legal limit. Last year, there was a double homicide in downtown Salisbury following an altercation at a popular bar. I must ask: Has Collins stated anywhere that he would like for this bar to cut off alcohol sales before 2 a.m.? Surely, preventing murders is as high on Collins’ list as robberies, assaults and panhandling. I’m sure that there are communities all over Salisbury that would love to have stores in and near their neighborhood limit alcohol sales. Will these communities be given the same consideration? Everyone wants their family to live in a safe neighborhood. How sad if poor, non-white neighborhoods must wait for white folks to Salisbury move in before their neighborhood gets help from the police. — Gregory Banks
Crime extends beyond one store
In a Jan. 23 article in the Salisbury Post, Salisbury Police Chief Rory Collins discussed the crime rate at a local gas station. What he did not include was how many, if any, of these reports actually happened at the store. Some

ing?” Replied Biden: “No, I don’t.” Fast forward: This week, even Mubarak could smell the odor. His olfactory sense of the inevitable was no doubt improved by the arrival of Obama’s emissary, former ambassador to Egypt Frank Wisner, with the message that Obama felt Mubarak must not seek re-election. Tuesday afternoon, Mubarak told his people precisely that. Once that might have satisfied all. This week, many in Cairo's streets insisted they wanted change now, not in a few months. But the far larger unanswered question is whether a new regime will maintain Egypt’s pursuit of peace with Israel. Or — and this is our worst fear — will militant Muslims rise up and undo peace in the Middle East? It will be some time before we know that answer. But for now, this much can be said for Team Obama. For days this didn’t seem to be shaping up as a great week, as yet another president's experts underestimated the power of the people. But Obama and his top officials whiteknuckled their way through it, correcting course when they misspoke or missteered. Obama kept on trucking. Let’s hope he got us to a safe place.
Even without earmarks, politicos will have pork N
o more earmarks. That is what the president promised in his State of the Union speech a few days ago. The commentators and political spinners did not make much of this applause line. Maybe, in their minds, it was not much news value. Earmarks are those special provisions in appropriation bills for projects pushed by individual legislators. Being against earmarks is simply being against D.G. political pork. MARTIN And being against pork and spending for legislators’ pet projects is about as controversial as being for apple pie and Mothers’ Day. Or is it? Political insiders tell me that pork is the grease that gets good laws passed. Take it away, they say, and you have a problem getting anything passed. Here is why. Well, first, you think about it. When does your Congressional representative or state legislator get favorable attention from the media in your area? When do you feel especially appreciative? It is when he or she helps get funding for some important, special local project, isn’t it? A building, a program for kids, a road or bridge project, something to help the local museum or fire department. Right? Most politicians love to help, and they love the appreciation they get from you when they have “brought home the bacon.” They really want to do something tangible to help their neighbors. Folks tell me that Congressional representatives and some state legislators spend much of their time working to get special local projects worked into appropriation bills — one way or another. Some years ago, the North Carolina legislature had a custom of letting every legislator designate several thousand dollars of funds each year for a local project or two. It was pork, but it was organized pork, and it was on the table for everyone to see. Once, when an appropriations bill with all these special projects was being debated, a representative got up to rail against the “pork barrel” process. The manager of the
bill rose to say that he would accommodate the protesting representative by taking out the provision for funds to a volunteer fire department that the protestor had requested earlier. “You can’t have it both ways. You can’t argue against the pork and still hold your plate out to get your share.” Very quickly, the protester rose to withdraw his protest. President Obama’s promise caught his workhorse ally, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, off guard. Earmarks are one of the tools Reid used to get the President’s legislation through the Senate. They helped grease the wheels to bring reluctant votes into the fold. Reid told ABC News about Obama’s ban on earmarks, “I think it’s taking power away from the legislative branch of government and giving it to the executive branch of government … I think that I know more about what Nevada needs than some bureaucrat down on K Street.” “So you think the president is wrong about this?” ABC’s Jonathan Karl asked. “Without any question,” Reid responded. “So you’re saying that earmarks will be back?” asked Karl. “Of course they’ll be back,” Reid asserted. But even if they are not, Obama, Reid, and their Republican friend Senator Mitch McConnell can figure out many different ways to reward legislators with special funds for their districts. Here is just one of the ways it worked in North Carolina. A powerful legislator wants a project funded in his district, but the earmark/special provision pathway is closed. So he has a private conversation with a state agency head and says, “If I get $1 million extra in your budget this year, can you use some of those funds to support a wonderful project in my district?” They wink at each other; the deal is done. So, earmarks may come or go. But pork is probably with us always. • • • D.G.

Ice storm slams North Texas before Super Bowl
assocIaTED PREss
Dallas Fire and Rescue workers try to contain diesel fuel that leaked from a jackknifed 18wheeler Tuesday in the northbound lanes of Interstate 35E. Traffic was stopped in both directions after several 18-wheelers either jackknifed of came to a total stop on ice covered interstate near Pleasant Run Road. said. Bad weather didn’t stop separate events Tuesday in Fort Worth and Las Colinas, where each team was presented a handmade saddle by Leddy’s. Most star-studded Super Bowl parties were planned for the weekend, and both teams arrived in the Dallas area a day before Tuesday’s storm that caused hundreds of car accidents, school closings and flight cancelations. Officials who have been planning Super Bowl XLV at
Cowboys Stadium in Arlington said most fans had already planned to travel later in the week. Temperatures in the Dallas area were not expected to rise above freezing until Saturday, and Sunday’s forecast called for highs in the mid-50s. “I think that this is a minor bump in the road,” said Tony Fay, spokesman for the North Texas Super Bowl Host Committee. “It’s not going to slow down the party at all.” Terry Clower, director of
the University of North Texas’ Center for Economic Development and Research, said the winter storm would not hurt the Super Bowl’s economic boom because spending starts weeks before the big game with party and other event preparations, and doesn’t end until the after the cleanup. Part of ice-coated Interstate 35 in Dallas County was closed in both directions for a couple of hours Tuesday after 17 tractor-trailers became stuck or jackknifed, said coun-
PHOENIX (AP) — New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg overstepped his power in authorizing investigators to run an undercover sting operation at a Phoenix gun show, Arizona’s attorney general said Tuesday. Bloomberg’s office didn’t bother to give Arizona police any advanced notice of the plan, Attorney General Tom Horne said. “The fact that no such notification was made indicates this so-called sting is nothing less than a public relations stunt,” Horne said. During the sting disclosed Monday by Bloomberg, investigators hired by New York City bought semiautomatic pistols
after they said they probably couldn’t pass a background check. Bloomberg has authorized similar stings around the country as part of a push for tougher federal laws to help keep guns off the streets of New York. Horne said Bloomberg ought to consider the skyrocketing crime in his city before sending police officers to another state. He cited the latest FBI crime statistics that show robberies, rapes, aggravated assaults and murders increased in New York City in 2010, compared to the previous year. Bloomberg spokesman Jason Post said the sting was carried out by Arizona-based

Farther west, some counties in the Panhandle reported a few inches of snow, and temperatures in some cities were in the single digits by Tuesday afternoon. As much of 8 inches of snow had fallen about 100 miles north of Dallas by midTuesday, more than anywhere else in the state. Forecasters called for flurries of snow Wednesday and a slight chance of snow Friday, but said the biggest problem was ice- and snow-covered roads that would not thaw out anytime soon. Thousands of Super Bowl visitors by early Wednesday morning were to shiver through the lowest temperatures to hit the Dallas-Fort Worth area 15 years, according to the National Weather Service. Single-digit lows expected Wednesday morning would be the first since February 1996, meteorologist Daniel Huckaby said. A storm with snow and ice is not unusual for North Texas each winter, although the climate can be moderate. Highs were in the mid-70s just days ago.

ty spokeswoman Kim Leach. No injuries were reported, but the southbound lanes could not be immediately opened because fuel from one of the 18wheelers had to be cleaned up before sand trucks could come in, Leach said. Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport was closed for about two hours Tuesday morning and some 500 flights were canceled throughout the day. An electric provider, Oncor, reported nearly 27,000 customers without power statewide — nearly half in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. In Dallas, the ice and snow proved to be too heavy for a large tent on the Cotton Bowl field. No one was injured when the tent “came down quicker than we wanted to,” and officials planned to put it back up Wednesday before the weekend XLV Party, said Ariana Hajibashi, the party publicist. In Southeast Texas, there was no snow but winds reaching 70 mph damaged some structures. The weather service reported trees down and roofs ripped off buildings in areas near Huntsville and Cleveland.
private investigators, not New York City police. “According to data contained in FBI reports, New York City is the safest big city in the nation, safer than Phoenix,” where the per capita rate of major felonies is twice that in New York, Post said. Investigators who ran the sting were sold 9 mm guns even after telling two separate sellers they probably couldn’t pass background checks. The mayor has said it’s illegal for merchants to sell a weapon if they have reason to believe the buyer couldn’t pass a background check, even though many aren’t required to perform such checks.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — A massive ice storm caused traffic accidents and power outages in North Texas on Tuesday but didn’t stop festivities leading up to this weekend’s Super Bowl. Two die-hard Green Bay Packers fans had to postpone their 800-mile drive in a Cadillac convertible for at least a day as the monster system threatened to leave about a third of the nation covered in a hodge-podge of harsh weather, reaching from Texas to New England. “We love driving in the snow,” said Dieter Sturm, 55, of Lake Geneva, Wis. “We can handle that without a problem. The icy roads are another story.” He and Mark Madson, 58, of Clinton, Wis., were to leave Wednesday, a day later than they planned, but were determined to go on the road trip although they don’t yet have tickets to Sunday’s game that pits the Packers against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Madson’s 1978 yellow Eldorado has “Super Bowl or Bust” and “Packer Mobile” painted on it, a surf board on top, bull horns mounted on the front hood — and a snow machine in the back, which they plan to use on the drive to Texas. “What’s better to actually take a road trip to the Super Bowl in an open-top convertible Cadillac through the wintertime? This is a once-in-alifetime opportunity,” Sturm

Analysis: Turmoil in Egypt will reshape US role
Brent crude pushes higher, WTI settles below $91 NEW YORK (AP) — The price of a key oil contract traded at a two-year high above $102 a barrel Tuesday as antigovernment protest continued in Egypt. Prices for oil in the Middle East are closely tied to Brent crude, which rose 73 cents to settle at $101.74 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange in London. It’s also used to price oil in Asia and Europe. Events remained fluid in Egypt, where President Hosni Mubarak announced he won’t run again later this year. That followed the largest demonstration yet in a week of protests by citizens calling for the president’s immediate resignation. Many refineries, including those on the East Coast of the U.S., face higher costs because they use Brent to produce gasoline. Experts say, however, that drivers won’t immediately face higher pump prices because harsh winter weather has hurt demand. Average gasoline prices dropped about a penny during the past week to a national average of $3.101 a gallon, ac-
cording to AAA, Wright Express and Oil Price Information Service. “It’s been an awful winter, definitely not inspiring people to go out and drive,” said Tom Kloza, publisher and chief oil analyst at Oil Price Information Service. A gallon of gasoline is 2.8 cents higher than a month ago and 43.2 cents higher than the same time last year. Kloza said prices will climb to between $3.50 and $3.75 per gallon by March. In the U.S., benchmark West Texas Intermediate, or WTI, crude for March delivery fell $1.42 to settle at $90.77 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent, which analysts say better reflects global oil demand, traded as high as $102.08, a level not seen since October 2008. In other Nymex trading for March delivery, heating oil rose 1.67 cents to settle at $2.7570 per gallon, gasoline futures climbed 1.93 cents to settle at $2.5194 per gallon, and natural gas lost 7.3 cents to settle at $4.347 per 1,000 cubic feet.

While the Brotherhood claims to have closed its paramilitary wing long ago, it has fought politically to gain power. It has also built a nationwide charity and social network that much of Egypt’s population depends on for survival. “You have to be very careful about instability for a very long period because this is a country where you just have critical problems in food supply and feeding people,” said Anthony Cordesman, an expert on the Middle East at the Center for Strategic and international Studies.

And instability in Egypt could spread to its neighbors. “In terms of the worst case, the obvious one is that,

would be greatly diminished. Most Middle East experts and analysts don’t think such a doomsday scenario will happen, particularly with encouraging signs of a peaceful transfer of power in Egypt and with the so-far nonviolent nature of the demonstrations. But there are still many signs of stress and potential problems ahead. And, it’s clear, there will be no return to the status quo: The U.S. role in the Middle East has probably been altered forever. “The consequences of instability in Egypt to the United States are really important,” said former diplomatic Nicholas troubleshooter Burns, who was the Bush administration’s point man on Iran from 2005 to 2008. “The strategic interests of the United States are on the line.” Mubarak’s course of saying he won’t seek re-election but won’t step down immediately or rule out his son as a candidate “guarantees that the demonstrations will continue,” said Danielle Pletka, vice president of foreign and defense policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute, a Washington-based think tank. “Their demand is that Mubarak go now, not that Mubarak go in seven months.” However, she said, if Mubarak had made the offer earlier that would have defused the crisis. In his remarks, Obama emphasized that “it is not the role of any other country to determine Egypt’s leaders.” Shibley Telhami, a Mideast scholar at the University of Maryland, said it was important for Obama to “lower our tone” and not appear to get directly involved in the leadership change — for fear of creating an unwelcome backlash. “The less we make this about America, the better,” Telhami said. Any period of governmental uncertainty, if Egypt goes through a succession of leaders, or if extremist factions gain the upper hand, could keep tensions across the region high for a long period. Also adding to the uncertainty: The protesters are varied and often have conflicting
Commission. For instance, Morici noted, while ElBaradei is a clear favorite of the West, he has been “quite critical of Egypt’s support for the Israeli blockade of Gaza.” Morici said overhanging the whole issue of possible ramifications is the possibility of a tightening of oil supplies by oil-producing states that might be unhappy with the turn of events in Egypt’s governance. With just a 5 percent reduction in production, “you could hit $120 a barrel and that’s $4 a gallon gasoline.” That could torpedo a still fragile recovery, he said.

sis. Questions about Mubarak’s age and health, the cable said, “have made presidential succession a core national issue.” It isn’t clear how much clout will be wielded by Mohamed ElBaradei, the Nobelprize winning former director of the International Atomic Energy Agency, who has emerged over the past few days as the leading opposition leader. “This is so complex because the Egyptian opposition has so many faces,” said Peter Morici, a University of Maryland business professor and former chief economist at the U.S. International Trade

over time, you see some kind of violent Islamic extremist takeover. The second worst case is that you see the government survive in a form so repressive that basically every passing month creates even more pressure for change and even more anger at the regime and at the United States,” said Cordesman, a former director of intelligence assessment in the Pentagon. A confidential June 2005 U.S. government diplomatic cable, posted online Tuesday by the WikiLeaks organization, showed that the U.S. has long been concerned that Egypt faced a succession cri-

WASHINGTON (AP) — The protests rocking Egypt could change the political landscape of the entire Arab world and beyond. Possible outcomes range all the way from pro-democracy forces taking charge in Cairo to — in a worst case — an all-out war bringing in Israel and Iran. In between, there could be a long period of instability that could breed economic chaos across the region and derail economic recoveries in the U.S. and Europe. In Cairo, embattled President Hosni Mubarak declared to his nation in a televised address Tuesday night that he would not stand for re-election but wouldn’t leave office either, determined to stay in power until elections in September. Mubarak declined to rule out his son as a candidate. Later, President Barack Obama talked by phone to Mubarak for 30 minutes and said in brief remarks at the White House that the Egyptian leader “recognizes that the status quo is not sustainable and that a change must take place.” But, Obama emphasized, he indicated directly to Mubarak that it “is my belief that an orderly transition must be meaningful, it must be peaceful and it must begin now.” That appeared to imply that the president was not particularly enthusiastic about Mubarak’s decision to wait until September. Mubarak made his halfway concession as hundreds of thousands of Egyptians gathered in a major square in Cairo to demand an end to his 30-year rule. Egypt, the world’s largest Arab nation, is critically important to U.S. foreign policy and to major goals the Obama administration is pursuing in the Middle East: the IsraeliPalestinian peace process, containment of Iran’s influence and nuclear ambitions, counter-terrorism. “Right now you’ve got a thousand people in government writing policy memos trying to figure out what’s going on,” said Aaron David Miller, a former U.S. Mideast peacemaker who is now at the Woodrow Wilson Center think tank. “The three-option memo is standard. Option one is Armageddon. The world is falling apart. American interests will be completely threatened “The third option is: Don’t worry, boss, this isn’t such a big deal. “It’s the middle option, with respect to American interests, that we have to pay serious attention to,” Miller said. The worst case envisions a rise in extremist Muslim factions in Egypt, Tunisia and even Jordan. The Suez Canal and an adjacent pipeline could be closed, the Egyptian-Israeli peace accord renounced, the U.S.-Egyptian diplomatic and military relationship ended. Iran could move in to fill the vacuum. That could trigger war between Israel and Iran, perhaps involving nuclear weapons. American influence throughout the region

North Carolina will learn Wednesday how much the NCAA investigation into the football program has affected recruiting. The Tar Heels have generally ranked among the top 20 classes nationally heading into national signing day. But they could rise or fall depending on how many players back out of verbal commitments or decide to sign while Butch Davis’ program awaits a ruling from the NCAA after its probe into agent-related benefits or possible academic misconduct. Recruiting coordinator Allen Mogridge said the coaching staff has worked

CHINA GROVE — It was billed as a N. Iredell 59 barometer Carson 44 game for the Carson girls basketball team — a chance to guage how it stacks up against the state’s top-ranked 3A team. The answer came quickly and decisively Tuesday night when visting North Iredell sent the upstart Cougars to their rooms with a 59-44 NPC loss. “I think they played like a really, really good ballteam,” c o a c h Brooke Misenheimer said after secondMISENHEIMER place Carson (13-5, 72) had its four-game winning streak snapped. “They took it to us. They attacked us offensively. They crashed the boards, killed us on the boards. And defensively they made things real difficult for us. We didn’t get many open looks.” It added up to a miserable night for CHS, which shot 16for-41 from the field (39 percent) but coralled only 20 rebounds. Two North players — six-foot sophomore Brooke Redmond and senior guard Bri Johnson — had 10 apiece. Redmond shot 11-for19 from the floor and scored a game-best 22 points.
MOUNT ULLA — West R o w a n Statesville 69 coach Mike W. Rowan 66 G u r l e y watches late-night episodes of “Cheers” when he can’t sleep, and Sam, Norm and Cliff no doubt got some airtime after a 69-66 loss to Statesville. “We threw our hearts out there on that floor,” Gurley said. “We grew up some, but part of growing up is learning sometimes you do everything you can possibly do, and it still doesn’t go your way.” The front rim wasn’t kind to the Falcons. B.J. Sherrill’s pointblank shot with 40 seconds left for a tie somehow didn’t drop over the ledge, and Connor Edwards’ last-second 3-pointer that would’ve forced overtime looked good but ticked the wrong way off the iron. “Every time Connor shoots, I believe it’s going in,” sighed West star Keshun Sherrill, who scored 27 points. “Everyone said that it was right on line.” Essentially playing for a share of the NPC championship in its wired home gym, West (9-10, 7-2) played passionately for a 14-point lead in the third quarter and led by nine with 4:20 left to play. But there’s a reason a young Statesville team is going to win the league title. The Greyhounds were close to being knocked right out of the gym more than once, but they didn’t fold. “We don’t quit,” Statesville coach Sonny Schofield said.

We kept clawing and kept fighting, even when it looked like the free throws were going to murder us.” Nick Schofield, the coach’s son, scored 23 points to lead the Greyhounds (14-3, 9-0), and spectacular sophomore Josh Gaither produced 21. But those guys do it every Tuesday and Friday. West did enough to withstand Statesville’s big two, but the Greyhounds also got huge plays in the fourth quarter from Tyrone Lowery and Marquis Willis. Lowery and Willis pushed the Hounds over the top. Keshun Sherrill didn’t score the first five minutes, but then he drilled three straight shots to propel the

Carson looked like it needed a fresh set of batteries in the early going and fell behind 39-27 when North’s Ty Johnson hit back-toback baskets two minutes into in the third quarter. “It was looking ugly,” said Carson coach Brian Perry. “It wasn’t looking very good.

From staff reports Catawba’s baseball team built an 8-0 lead on Tuesday and held on for an 8-7 win at Barton. Miami of Ohio transfer J.J. Jankowski pitched six shutout innings and struck out seven for the Indians, and Brett Underwood collected four hits to lead the offense. Blake Houston (South Rowan) drove in two runs in his first college game, and Julio Zubillaga (Carson) made his college debut with two hits and scored twice. Ross Whitley, the fifth Catawba hurler, earned a save.
n North girls win North Rowan girls coach Tony Hillian called team together at the beginning of the fourth quarter trailing West Montgomery 31-25, and told them, “Buckle down, play defense and don’t let them score another basket.” His team listened, outscoring the Warriors 24-1 to take a 49-32 YVC win. Teaunna Cuthbertson (15 points) and Taylor Sells (10) each scored seven in the final period for the Cavs (613, 5-7) while Tiffany Brown hit four key free throws.

The junior guard exploded for 38 Tuesday as Davie County beat Mount Tabor 8070 in Central Piedmont Conference action. It was the first win over Mount Tabor for Davie (16-3, 5-2) in coach Mike Absher’s 10 years at the school. Davie led by 17 in the first half and held a 39-27 edge at the half. But Tabor (17-2, 5-2) fought back to within 52-51 going into the fourth quarter. That’s when Jones scored 15 of his points to open up the lead. Raheem Martin added 13 points for the War Eagles. Shannon Dillard scored nine. Cody and Caleb Martin added eight points apiece.

RECRUITING FROM 1B . “You’ve got to have some faith and you’ve got to trust that things are going to be fine.” The NCAA investigation became public last summer and threatened to derail momentum that had built through Davis’ first three seasons. In all, 14 players missed at least one game while seven sat out the entire season. It also led to the ouster of associate head coach and recruiting coordinator John Blake, whose close ties with NFL agent Gary Wichard became a key part of the investigation. But the Tar Heels finished with a third straight 8-5 season, ending with a wild double-overtime victory against Tennessee in the Music City Bowl. Afterward, athletic director Dick Baddour said the school was eager for resolution and was “frustrated” by negative recruiting from competing schools that were using the investigation to dissuade players from signing with the Tar Heels. The early results, however, has been positive. Rivals.com lists the North Carolina at No. 14 nationally in its rankings as of Tuesday afternoon, while Scout.com has the school at No. 19. Both recruiting sites have the Tar Heels at third in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Miller Safrit, a regional recruiting analyst for Scout.com, said the Tar Heels first had to hold on to committed players when the investigation began. There were no mass defections, though North Carolina did lose on four-star quarterback Everett Golson out of South Carolina — who de-committed and signed with Notre Dame as an early enrollee last month. “I don’t think it greatly affected the players where they were finalists
n Spencer Little League
Spencer Little League and Franklin Ellis Pee Wee League will hold registration on Fridays, Feb. 4 and 11, from 4-7 p.m. and on Saturdays, Feb. 5 and 12, from 9-12 at the 8th Street Ballpark in Spencer. Cost is $50 per player for ages 412 and $70 per player for ages 13-14. Contact William Noles at 704-6330151, Chris Fries at 704-637-2766, Rodney Goodine at 704-636-7088 or Craige Farmer at 704-216-7783.
for the large part,” Safrit said. “But in July and August when that stuff happened, I think some doors may have shut for some players they were on the outskirts of and could’ve brought in for an official visit and had a chance to recruit. I think the number of players that were recruitable players shrank a little bit as that happened.” Yet the Tar Heels could still help themselves with late additions to the class. They’re still in the running for a pair of five-star prospects in linebackers Curtis Grant from Richmond, Va., and Stephone Anthony from Wadesboro, N.C. — a pair of players who were among The Associated Press Top 100 and AP South Region Top 25 lists. Mogridge, who replaced Blake as recruiting coordinator in October, credited the coaching staff for staying positive through the uncertainty of the NCAA investigation. He doesn’t expect Wednesday to be different from any other national signing day. “We’re working business as usual,” Mogridge said. “I don’t think anybody is walking around here feeling differently. As we’ve worked through it together and talked about it as a staff, it’s been, ‘Hey guys, this is where it is. Let’s go to work.’ “It’s been an interesting ride. And I’m a firm believer you’re never given more than you can handle.” • Among the local players expected to sign today are Salisbury’s Darien Rankin and Romar Morris to North Carolina, West Rowan’s Domonique Noble to Georgia Tech, Carson’s Shaun Warren to Western Carolina, West’s B.J. Sherrill and Trey Mashore, along with Carson’s Cody Clanton, to Catawba, North Rowan’s Javon Hargrave to South Carolina State and Salisbury’s John Knox to Charleston (W. Va.)

WEST BOYS FROM 1B
jon c. lakey/SALISBURY POST
West Rowan's Jarvis Morgan (22) walks away while Greyhounds celebrate.
CARSON BOYS FROM 1B Houston explained. “In the second half we started working harder and driving the lane more.” Carson sophomore D.J. Love ignited the comeback. The Cougars had pulled within 39-33 when Houston went to the foul line attempting to complete a three-point play. Houston misfired, but Love — a 5-foot-10 fireball in the backcourt — snagged the rebound and hit a putback to cap an 8-0 run. “I had to work for that rebound,” Love said after finishing with 14 points. “But it was big. I just had to box out like (Perry) always tells me.” Losing coach Tony Davenport thought the play exemplified Carson’s second-half mindset. “That’s four against two,” he said. “That should be our rebound. They did that again in the fourth quarter. It just takes a few lapses like that to cost you a game.” Carson used consecutive layups by Wood to take a 45-44 lead entering the fourth period, but found itself four points down following a nifty spin
move by Austin St. John with 3:19 to play. The Cougars’ final climb up the mountain began with Houston driving and converting three of four free throws. Then with 2:44 remaining he put the hosts ahead for good with a gorgeous 3-pointer from the left corner. “We called a play called ‘Tech,’” he said. “I always know I’m gonna get a good look from that.” Only 1:18 remained when Houston slid a perfect pass to teammate Rik Heggins in the lane for a layup and a 56-53 edge. Carson’s final basket came when Heggins sidestepped a defender, grabbed an offensive rebound and hit a game-clinching putback. “We fell apart in the second half,” Davenport said after North (5-11 overall) dipped to 2-6 in the NPC. “And they played a lot harder. And Houston, he just did what big-time players do.” NORTH IREDELL (55) — St. John 17, Johnson 17, Nolen 8, Laws 5, Holland 4, Hunt 2, McNeely 2.

Falcons to a 19-14 lead after a quarter. But a foul-plagued B.J. Sherrill had to sit down most of the second quarter, and Schofield and Gaither combined for 11 points in the period to pull the Greyhounds within 32-31 at halftime. There was all kinds of Senior Night energy in the gym — Kevin Turner, B.J. Sherrill and Domonique Noble were the honorees — and the Falcons played electric basketball the first five minutes of the second half. Jarvis Morgan made a spinning drive down the lane for a bucket to start a run, and Noble outscrapped two Greyhounds for an offensive rebound and pitched out to Keshun Sherrill for a 3-ball. When B.J. Sherrill nailed a 3-pointer for his first points of the night, West led 40-31. Another B.J. Sherrill 3, a rugged Morgan stickback and two free throws by B.J. Sherrill after he outmuscled two Hounds for an offensive board made it 49-35 Falcons with 2:19 left in the quarter. But after that, Statesville turned up the defensive heat. “I felt like we got too relaxed,” Keshun Sherrill said. “The way we got up 14 was by taking it to them. Against a team that athletic, that jumps that well, you have to keep on attacking the rim and we didn’t do that.” West led 61-52 with 4:20 left, but Lowery hit a big 3 to slice into the lead. Then he swiped the ball from Keshun Sherrill and made a layup, and the Falcons’ lead was down to 61-57.
SOUTH BOYS FROM 1B Benjamin Johnson said. “South has come a tremendous way. The first time we played them, it was kind of like they were on a lull. This time, they came to get us.” Although South contained Zach Follrod to 20 points after the West senior pasted them for 41 in the first meeting, its late-game execution came up short once more. Follrod got the last basket of regulation on a runner in the lane with 1:18 left to tie it at 54. South (4-14, 1-7 NPC) had possession with under a minute left when Qua Neal dribbled off his foot and was whistled for a backcourt violation. Josh Medlin’s trey attempt from the corner at the end of regulation was off. “We had two chances near the basket to put ourselves up at the end of regulation,” Davis said. “We’ve played so many close basketball games, I don’t think it really matters from one game to the
When Schofield stole the ball from Noble and blew down the court uncontested with 3:40 left, it was 61-59. Then Schofield’s layup with 2:01 left gave the Greyhounds a 62-61 edge, their first lead of the second half. Two Keshun Sherrill free throws put West back in front by a single point, but, out of nowhere, Willis buried a deep 3-pointer with 1:04 left. With 40 seconds to go, Morgan dished to B.J. Sherrill for an easy one in the lane, but when it didn’t fall, the Falcons were in real trouble. With West trailing 67-63 with 11 seconds left, B.J. Sherrill drilled his third 3 — it was in, out, and then back in to make it 67-66— as the crowd went crazy. Gaither hit one free throw for a 68-66 Statesville lead with 9.5 seconds left, but Keshun Sherrill, a junior honored before the game for scoring 1,000 points, was tripped up trying to spin through traffic and lost the ball. Schofield made one free throw with 2.3 seconds left for a 69-66 Statesville lead, but then he missed one. West executed well and Edwards got a look, but his 3 wouldn’t fall. “This was really the first time this group’s played with a lot on the line in a hot gym and with all the fans yelling at them,” Gurley said. “I wish a few more shots had fallen, but I’m not disappointed. I hate losing, but I love to compete, and my guys competed.” STATESVILLE (69) — Schofield 23, Gaither 21, Wills 12, Warren 5, Lowery 5, Gill 3, Watlington, Tucker. WEST ROWAN (66) — K.

next.” Gaddy scored a season-best 26 points for the second-straight game. The 5-foot9 senior guard had seven straight points MEDLIN late in the first half and put South up 28-23 on a three-pointplay with 1:47 to go. The Raiders led 30-26 at halftime. “We should have been them bad today,” Gaddy said. “We should have had them real bad.” West (10-8, 5-4 NPC) got consecutive 3’s from Follrod and Jalen Gray to start the second half to go back up 32-30 and ignite a back-and-forth affair in the final two quarters. No team led by more than four in the second half. Hunter Blohm’s overtime 3-pointer was monumental, putting West up 62-58 with 2:16 left. McDaniel nailed a fadeaway jumper for South’s last points with a minute left for the final of his 15 points. “They took us to overtime and
STATESVILLE — Outside forces S. Rowan 43 tried their W. Iredell 31 d a r n d e s t , but couldn’t keep South Rowan from victory on this night. The Raiders, with three players battling sickness, forced West Iredell to have more turnovers than points at halftime as they cruised to a 43-31 victory in a 3-A North Piedmont Conference game. South forced 14 turnovers and gave up 12 points in the first half to brighten its postseason chances, moving into fourth place in the NPC. “I was telling our girls that this was the biggest game of the year,” South coach Jarrod Smith said. “Right now, we’re sitting in fourth, still in the playoffs. We had to win this game.” Fortunately for South, leading scorer Nicole Barringer avoided illness and added a team-best 16 points. “I’m try- BARRINGER ing to stay away from all of them,” Barringer joked. “I love them to death, but I don’t want to get near any of the ones with the flu.” Sam Goins 10 added points for South (7-10, 44 NPC). “Coach told us just to play hard and get it over early so we’re not fighting GOINS for it at the end,” Goins said. South led 9-5 after one quarter and closed the half on an 8-1 run that ended on a pair of free throws from Lauren Miller for a 22-12 edge at the break. The Warriors (314, 2-7 NPC) never got closer than when Tess Sigmon’s trey cut the deficit to 28-20. Barringer came through with her third 3-pointer of the night on the following possesion to make it a double-digit lead again. Sigmond led West with 12 points. “Out of my 11 girls, I think six of them have had the flu in the last two weeks,” Smith said. “Alexa [Allison], Chelsea [McManus] and Lynsey [Corriher] were all sick today. I told them they just had to gut it out.” A jumper from the foul line from Goins at the end of the third quarter made it 3523 with eight minutes to play. West never saw a single-digit deficit again.

Meyer, Shannon headed for ESPN
Brrr! It’s cold in Super Bowl city Associated Press
The NFL notebook ... DALLAS — The North Texas climate can be moderate — highs were in the mid70s just days ago — but the area left no doubt about its wintry side as a massive storm moved across the country. The National Weather Service says it won't be above freezing until Friday and Sunday's forecast for the Super Bowl between Pittsburgh and Green Bay calls for highs in the mid-50s. Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport was shut down briefly, and primary tenant American Airlines canceled 800 flights — about half its daily service. As workers shoveled and scraped the icy walkways outside Cowboys Stadium, Green Bay Packers nose tackle B.J. Raji, known for his frigid nickname, was asked about the Big Chill in Big D for the big game. "Too cold," said the 337pound Raji. "Feels like the AC is on." And then some. Green Bay receiver Greg Jennings bragged that the snow outside made the Packers "the home team." PANTHERS CHARLOTTE — Ricky Proehl is returning to the Carolina Panthers. Proehl, who played 17 seasons in the NFL including three with the Panthers, has signed as an offensive consultant and will work primarily with new wide receivers coach Fred Graves, who
joined the team on Monday. Proehl began his career as a third-round draft choice of the Arizona Cardinals in 1990 after playing collegiately at Wake Forest. He finished his NFL career with 669 career receptions for 8,878 yards and 54 touchdowns, playing with Arizona, Seattle, Chicago, St. Louis, Indianapolis and Carolina. He also was a member of four Super Bowl teams, including championship teams at St. Louis and Indianapolis. In three seasons with the Panthers (2003-05) Proehl caught 86 passes for 1,327 yards and eight touchdowns. ASSAULT MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen was accused of assaulting a police officer and faced an NFL investigation Tuesday after he was arrested during a traffic stop in South Los Angeles. Los Angeles police said officers used a stun gun to subdue the 6-foot-3, 275pound Griffen during a struggle after he tried to flee. He was released from jail early Tuesday on $50,000 bail. BOTH SIDES HAPPY DALLAS— The NFL gets to cash its $4 billion in TV checks. The union gets about $7 million in damages from the league. Both sides claimed victory after a special master ruled on the NFL Players Association's complaint that the league improperly negotiated TV contracts.

New england quarterback tom Brady was named NFL’s offensive Player of the Year.
Brady wins award Associated Press
DALLAS — Tom Brady tore up the NFL with his precision passing and dynamic guidance of the New England Patriots’ offense. That was in 2007, when he ran away with The Associated Press NFL Offensive Player of the Year award. Ditto for 2010. Brady won the honor Tuesday for the second time in four seasons. The recordsetting quarterback, who had a string of 355 passes without being intercepted, received 21 votes from a nationwide panel of 50 media members who regularly cover the league. He easily beat Philadelphia quarterback Michael Vick, who got 11 votes. “To me it comes down to the mental toughness and determination of the players and coaches,” Brady said. A unanimous choice for the All-Pro team, Brady threw for 36 touchdowns while being picked off just four times. When he won the award in 2007, Brady set an NFL mark with 50 touch-
downs passes as New England went undefeated in the regular season. Oddly, the Patriots did not win the championship in either of those seasons, but have won it three other times. Brady doesn’t sense much difference in the guy who took New England to a 16-0 mark back then and a leaguebest 14-2 this season. What Brady is doing isn’t much different: He’s winning, and he’s piling up dominant stats. Brady led the NFL with a 111 passer rating. His 65.9 completion percentage was second to Philip Rivers of San Diego — by .1. Nobody came close to his touchdown to interception differential: nearest was Matt Cassel at plus-20. Receiver Deion Branch, the MVP of the 2005 Super Bowl who returned to the Patriots from Seattle in midseason, believes Brady gets his edge because he can be a nerd. “Tom studies a lot,” Branch said late in the season.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Urban Meyer is joining ESPN as an analyst less than two months after he surprised the college football world by resigning from his plum job as Florida's coach. Meyer will call one game a week during the regular season and also serve as a studio analyst, the network said. He'll start with today’s signing day coverage. When he resigned Dec. 8, the 46-year-old Meyer said he wanted to spend more time with his family. He insisted on a conference call his new job wouldn't get in the way of that, saying, “It's a great opportunity to stay around the game," he said. Meyer led Florida to two national titles before resigning in December 2009, citing health concerns. That lasted just a day; a year later, though, he left for good. • CORAL GABLES, Fla. — For a change, Randy Shannon will be calm for national signing day. The former Miami coach will be an analyst on ESPNU's 10 hours of signing day coverage today, doing so from Charlotte. "It's going to be relaxing," Shannon said. "I'm still going to be involved with the signing day ritual, get to make some comments about what I see, players who you recruited, players who you watched on film. I really am looking forward to it, because it's still football and I get an opportunity to talk about players from different areas of the United States." Al Golden, who replaced Shannon at Miami, will appear on the program by telephone afternoon. It's unknown if Shannon will be asked to analyze Miami's recruiting class. "There's no hard feelings," Shannon said .

Florida State ends Wake’s win streak at one Associated Press
TALLAHASSEE , Fla. — Deividas Dulkys always beFla. State 85 lieved his shot would W. Forest 61 come back even if it did take awhile. The 6-foot-3 junior guard snapped out of a month-and-a-half long shooting slump to score 16 points as Florida State rebounded from its worst loss of the season with a 85-61 victory over hapless Wake Forest on Tuesday night. “I just put extra work in the gym and I believed it was going to come
back,” Dulkys said. “It came back today. When you hit one, the team will starting looking for you. They really supported me when I was in a slump.” FSU (16-6, 6-2 ACC) twice had leads of 32 points in the second half. Dulkys keyed a 12-0 run midway through the opening half that helped the Seminoles into a 31-19 lead at the break despite shooting just 31.9 percent. Bernard James made 5 of 6 field goals and finished with 13 points while freshman Ian Miller and Michael Snaer added 11 points each and Derwin Kitchen 10 for the Seminoles, who
were defeated by 18 points Saturday at Clemson. “Historically we have bounced back once we have laid an egg,” Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton said. “I hate for that to happen for us to focus.” Gary Clark’s 16 points led Wake Forest (8-14, 1-6), which has lost 10 of its last 14 games, including four of its last five by 20 points or more. Clark hit 4 of 6 from 3-point distance. Florida State had a 17-5 advantage on the offensive boards that translated to a 21-3 difference in secondchance points.

more than 30. The Tar Heels shot 57 percent from the field. “They’ve had trouble against zones; they didn’t have trouble with our zones,” BC coach Steve Donahue said. “Once they started making shots, it got their confidence up. ... I think they really played one of the best games they’ve played in a while.” BC led 18-13 when Bullock entered the game with 12:15 left in the first half. He hit a 3 on Carolina’s next possession, another to give the Tar Heels the lead and one more to make it 22-18 with 9:52 left. He made another to give Carolina a 29-22 lead and by the time he headed back to the bench the Tar Heels led 31-22. It was the last time BC would be within single digits. “It was just a spark off the bench for me,” Bullock said. “I wanted to play defense and my shot started falling. It’s all clicking for us right now. We know our roles. Coach keeps telling me to keep shooting the ball and I did.” Barnes was the first freshman selected for The Associated Press preseason AllAmerica team since voting began before the 1986-87 season. But he had struggled during the ACC season before scoring 25 against
North Carolina State on Saturday. Bullock shot 0 for 5 in that one. He and Barnes each made 4 of 7 from 3-point range against BC. “I’ve said all year long I thought we’d be a good shooting team. We hadn’t shot well, but we shot well tonight,” Williams said. “Everybody looks better when the ball’s going in the basket. If they stink it up the next time, I’ll call them freshmen again.” The Tar Heels had been as high as No. 8 in The Associated Press Top 25 before consecutive losses to Vanderbilt and Minnesota helped knock them from the rankings at the end of November. They stayed out for 10 weeks before creeping back in at No. 23 on Monday after winning 11 of their last 13 games, with losses to Georgia Tech and Texas. BC had beaten Carolina two straight times, including an 85-78 win in Chapel Hill in 2009 when the Tar Heels were the No. 1 team in the country. Carolina went on to win the NCAA championship, and BC went on to lose to Harvard in its next game. There would be no upset this year. The Eagles have been struggling — losing to Harvard for the third straight year and dropping three of their last four games, including an 84-68 loss to Duke on Thursday. A crowd of 7,883 took in the game during a break in the blizzard that threatened to shut down the city. It saw BC jump to an early lead that it couldn’t hold.

Your leadership qualities are likely to be impressive in the year ahead, so don’t hesitate to take on a director’s role if one is offered to you. Endeavors or enterprises that you personally manage will have strong chances for success. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — A chance to disengage yourself from an unproductive involvement might come your way. However, it will be up to you to take advantage of the fresh start that is being offered. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — You are momentarily in a fortunate trend for gratifying a secret ambition. Make your moves, but don’t do so openly. The benefits can be enhanced by the element of surprise. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Get out, mingle and be friendly to folks from all walks of life. There is a new acquaintance waiting to meet you who will have a strong, favorable effect on your social life. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Make it a point to elevate your sights when it comes to your goals. Certain challenging objectives will help motivate you to fulfill an ambitious quest. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Some special knowledge that you recently acquired will likely come in very handy. You’ll be grateful that you had this information at your fingertips. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — If someone tells you about a special investment proposal s/he recently stumbled upon, pay attention if you are sitting on a cash surplus. It might turn out it to be perfect for you as well. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Don’t get impatient about a situation that you’ve been negotiating for some time, but if you think it might be for you, continue to learn more. You might clinch the deal. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Conditions could give you that toehold you’ll need to continue the diet or exercise program that you recently started. Instead of putting it off, get serious about it. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — It would be a mistake to delegate surrogates to do important things that you’re better equipped to handle yourself. You’re the one who is operating on a successful frequency. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Certain conditions that have an important effect upon your family’s well-being can be effectively improved upon. Something you’re capable of doing would enhance the clan’s security. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Define and focus on definite targets that you would like to achieve within the next couple of weeks. The more concise you are about your plans, the better your chances of success. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — It would behoove you to diligently search out outside factors that could come into play and provide you with greater material security. Handled properly, you’ll have a long run. Know where to look for romance and you’ll find it. The Astro-Graph Matchmaker instantly reveals which signs are romantically perfect for you.

Reader asks about seborrheic keratoses A true gift, one of Greek origin Dear Dr. Gott: I am a senior citizen and, of late, am getting many brown spots on my body and arms. These spots are called seborrheic keratoses. Do you have any information or cures that you could provide? Dear reader: Seborrheic keratoses are common noncancerous skin growths that ordinarily affect older adults. They cause slightly raised brown, black or pale lesions that can appear waxy or scaly. They are round or oval in shape and can grow to an inch or more in size. Some may The DR. PETER itch. growths can GOTT develop in clusters or appear singularly, and most often appear on the head, neck or torso. Seborrheic keratoses are harmless and, therefore, don’t necessarily require treatment. They can, however, be a cosmetic issue, especially on the face. They can also be irritating at the waist or in bra-strap areas. Removal of the lesion(s) is fairly simple and often doesn’t result in scarring. The most common methods of removal include cryotherapy (freezing), curettage (scraping), electrocautery (removal with electrical current) and ablation (laser removal). In some cases, more than one type of treatment may be used, especially on large lesions or if there are
multiple growths of varying sizes. Unless they are removed because of irritation or bleeding, the removal procedure is considered cosmetic so most insurance companies will not pay for it. Another possibility is that you simply have liver spots (age spots) that present as brown, black or gray lesions on the skin that vary in size and shape. They can appear on the face, backs of the hands, shoulders and arms — areas most likely to receive extensive sun exposure. While the lesions might feel coarse and resemble leather, they are not the raised, scaly, waxy lesions associated with seborrheic keratoses. Age spots are harmless and do not require treatment. These spots occur over time because of the aging process, genetics or sun exposure without protection from damaging ultraviolet (UV) rays. It’s these rays that accelerate the production of melanin, the dark pigment in the layer of skin known as the epidermis. The production of high concentrations of melanin manufactured by the body is designed to protect the deeper layers of our skin. Because both age spots and keratoses can resemble cancerous lesions, I recommend that a dermatologist examine you; he or she can perform a visual examination and order a biopsy should any question arise. I urge you to use a sun block on all exposed body parts before going out of doors. To provide related infor-
mation, I am sending you a copy of my Health Report “Medical Specialists.” Other readers who would like a copy should send a self-addressed stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 check or money order made payable to Newsletter and mailed to Newsletter, P.O. Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092-0167. Be sure to mention the title or print an order form off my website at www.AskDrGottMD.com. Dear Dr. Gott: I am looking for plain Lysol. I can’t find it anywhere. My mother used it to control fungus, ringworm and other contagious skin outbreaks. Where is it available? Dear reader: Lysol sells and distributes disinfectant sprays, wipes, no-touch hand soap, all-purpose cleaners, mildew remover, kitchen, bath and toilet-bowl cleaners, but nowhere did I find plain Lysol. Upon calling the company, they indicated they discontinued the original “scent” in January 2010. They have a 12-ounce concentrate, but it is not intended for use on the body; nor is any of their other products. So I guess you will have to improvise. Sorry! Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online.

Dave Barry said, “I can win an argument on any topic, against any opponent. People know this, and steer clear of me at parties. Often, as a sign of their great respect, they don’t even invite me.” Can you win this argument — battle — at the bridge table? You are in three no-trump. West leads the heart five. How would you plan the play? Your response of one notrump showed 6-9 points (or a poor 10) and fewer than three spades. North cautiously invited game when most would have jumped to three no-trump. But you rightly moved on because your hand had a good five-card suit and two 10s. Given the heart lead, you
have six top tricks: one spade, four hearts and one diamond. And the club suit will provide four more winners. But you must watch your entries. If you play low from the dummy, take the trick with your heart 10, and play on clubs, West, if he learned the game before breakfast, will only take his ace on the second round of the suit. Then, how will you get back to your hand to cash those three club winners? You won’t! You must sacrifice one heart trick to get four club tricks. You must play second hand high, winning the first trick with dummy’s heart king. Then you immediately attack clubs to collect nine tricks: one spade, three hearts, one diamond and four clubs. It is good business to give up one trick if you get three
in return. And if you do that here, partner will surely invite you to the next bridge party.
Gervais says he’s back, Golden Globes differs NEW YORK (AP) — Ricky Gervais says that despite the acrimony over his job hosting the Golden Globes, he was asked to consider returning next year. In a diary of his experience hosting the Globes for Heat magazine, Gervais said that organizers asked him to “consider a third year.” Gervais said he was inclined to turn it down. “I don’t think I should,” he wrote. “I don’t know what I could do better. I certainly couldn’t get more press for them, that’s for sure.” The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which presents the Globes, denied that such an offer was made to Gervais. “There is no truth to this rumor,” association president Philip Berk said in a statement Tuesday. “We have not asked him to come back. Nice try, Ricky.” Gervais clarified Tuesday that the discus-
sion took place with an executive at NBC, the network that aired the awards show. “At no point did I talk to The Hollywood Foreign Press Association,” he told The Hollywood Reporter. “I’m absolutely sure they don’t want me back.” Gervais’ hosting job in January — his second time around — quickly became infamous because of the pointed jokes he made about many Hollywood stars. Berk earlier said Gervais “definitely crossed the line.” The NBC broadcast drew nearly 17 million viewers, slightly more than last year’s. Finding a host for next year is far from the Foreign Press Association’s most pressing concern. The association sued the show’s longtime producer, Dick Clark Productions, in November, claiming the company entered a broadcast agreement with NBC without the association’s permission.

CARSON GIRLS FROM 1B
Johnson had 19 points, including 12 in the first half when North (15-1, 8-0 NPC, 15 straight wins) opened a 29-19 lead. Carson played its best in the first two minutes, using a three-point play by Phillips and Allison Blackwell’s 12-foot set shot to grab a quick 5-2 lead. “We were ready,” Misenheimer said. “And m a y b e t h e y weren’t quite so focused.” “At the very start MONROE we were just sloppy,” NI coach Tami Ramsey said after being told the Raiders had four turnovers before they had four points. “But after the timeout we picked it up. We started getting second and third shots. It just showed how important winning the boards was.” North responded with an 11-0 run to build a 13-5 lead. Then after Carson’s Kelly Dulkoski drained a 3-pointer to trim the gap to 15-12 in the second period, the guests scored nine unanswered points to crack the game open. The Cougars never got closer than 40-29, following Chloe Monroe’s fastbreak layup late in the third quarter. Instead, Carson suffered its second conference loss to NI. “They move the ball offensively,” said Ramsey, gracious in victory. “And they can shoot lights out.” Somehow, that wasn’t enough to satisfy Misenheimer. “We know the calibre team they are,” she said. “But we also want to approach each game with the goal of winning. This game showed us where we stand and how we have to play to compete with teams like that. They’re a better team right now.”

West Rowan girls get easy victory BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com
MOUNT ULLA — West Rowan senW. Rowan 66 i o r Statesville 24 L e i g h a n a W a t s o n made progress toward a unique double-double. Watson has scored seven points as a blonde this season and owns six as a brunette after hitting two fourth-quarter 15-footers in a 66-24 romp against Statesville. “I’m a blonde, but I like to dye my hair,” Watson explained matter-of-factly. While blondes theoretically have more fun, Watson had an eventful Tuesday night with her new look that includes much darker tresses. It was Senior Night, so coach Erich Epps gave Watson a start. Then she changed into a dress for Miss West
Rowan activities at halftime. Then she swapped the dress for her standard uniform and canned two jumpshots. “It was a whole lot of fun,” Watson said. Senior Allison Parker also got a start. She fed Alison Sobataka for a layup and scored a bucket herself off a pass from Brooke Harrington. West senior Ayana Avery returned to the lineup and scored 20 points. She needs 20 more to break Hillary Hampton’s school record. Avery’s points included a 3-pointer from almost halfcourt at the final buzzer. “We just tried to get everyone in the game and we used a lot of lineups, so there wasn’t much flow to it,” Epps said. “The seniors were going to play heavy minutes.” Soph Shay Steele scored 18 points in roughly 18 minutes, and Harrington swished two
3s in the fourth quarter. Third-place West (14-6, 6-3 NPC) led 11-0 early, and Statesville (0-17, 0-9) trailed 16-3 before it finally made its first field goal two minutes into the second quarter. Statesville coach Todd Jones has coached championship teams, but if you think it’s been an awful year for him you’d be wrong. “It’s my first losing team in 25 years, but it’s been the funnest season I’ve had in coaching,” he said. “The girls were excited and focused about playing. They hustled and executed on defense.” STATESVILLE (24) — Witt 10, B. Bradley 6, McCord 5, Wodecki 2, Crosswhite 1, C. Bradley, Hardig, McKinney. WEST ROWAN (66) — Avery 20, Steele 18, Dixon 7, Harrington 6, Barber 5, Watson 4, Parker 2, Dutton 2, Sobataka 2, Ball, Miller, Caldwell. Statesville W. Rowan

A strong winter storm continues dumping heavy snow across the Midwest and New England, while heavy rain sweeps through the Southeast on Wednesday. A strong and deep low pressure system that has developed across the Central US will continue tracking northeastward and up the Ohio River Valley. Winter storm warnings are in effect from the Mid-Mississippi River Valley to the Great Lakes as snowfall totals will range from another 2 to 6 inches in the Midwest, pushing storm totals from 12 to 17 inches of snow in some areas. An inch of freezing rain and sleet is anticipated across the Northeast and New England, thus, an ice storm warning has been issued for New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and southeastern New York. Blizzard conditions will also persist from the Midwest to New England as 25 to 35 mph winds are expected with gusts up to 40 and 50 mph. Many areas will see white out conditions. Extremely dangerous road and travel conditions are anticipated across most of New England and the Lower Great Lakes region. A cold front produced by this system extends southward, and will move from the Lower Mississippi River Valley to the Carolinas. This front is capable of producing some intense rainfall as it pulls in ample moisture from the Gulf of Mexico. Expect rainfall totals along this front to range from 1 to 2.50 inches. Behind this system, extremely cold air will pour into the Northern Plains, Northern Rockies, and Upper Midwest. As strong winds prevail, windchills will range from 20 to 30 degrees below zero across Minnesota, the Dakotas, and the Central Plains. Expect wind ranging from 15 to 25 mph, with gusts up to 35 mph.
