AND CHILLIN’ Spice boys hoping Pig Pen seasoning catches on with cooks
Economic recovery at least 5 years away, UNCC forecaster says

ith a coveted Scovie Award under their belt, two longtime friends are hoping their unique Pig Pen seasoning takes off. Pig Pen’s Hot and Spicy seasoning took first place this year in the Meat Required, All Purpose Dry Rub/Seasoning category of the Scovie Awards, among the world’s toughest hot and fiery food competitions. More than 600 products competed. A little sticker with the tell-tale Scovie flame tops each bottle of Pig Pen Hot and Spicy, available online and in several Rowan County Food Lion stores. “It’s a big feather in our cap,” co-founder Tomme Gamewell said. “It makes you feel good to see how you stack up.” In 2005, irrigation contractor Brad VunCannon gave Gamewell a seasoning concoction to taste. Disappointed with the gourmet spice blends advertised on the Food Network, VunCannon came up with his own using salt, pepper, garlic, paprika, onion, cayenne pepper, sugar and other spices. Gamewell was impressed. “It’s a really neat flavor,” he said. “It lends itself more to a Cajun style, but it’s not that heavy. It works just as well on veggies as it does on

National economic recovery will take at least five more years, and an outdated sales tax system and high unemployment in construction and manufacturing will hamper North Carolina’s rebound, one of the state’s leading economic forecasters said. Although the stock market has recovered from the Great Recession, the jobless rate and lagging revenues make it feel like the recession continues, said John Con- CONNAUGHTON Dr. naughton, who spoke Thursday at Salisbury City Council’s annual planning retreat. “It’s not a recession, but it’s not a recovery like we used to know,” said Connaughton, who directs the UNC Charlotte Economic Forecast at the University DR. JOHN of North Carolina at Charlotte. “It’s CONNAUGHTON going to be lined on NC taxing with significant goods, not services pockets of unemployment, and you are going to be hammered significantly on the revenue sides of your budget.” The presentation was sobering as the council spends two days considering the direction of the city and setting goals for the next year. Two streams of city revenue — property tax and sales tax — will re-
“We have the strangest, dumbest sales tax system … that could be invented by man.”

Need a coat? Landis church opening doors to those in need Sunday BY SHAVONNE POTTS
Local lawmakers say bill will help balance state’s budget BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com

LANDIS — If you need a coat, shoes or jeans and can’t pay for them, a local church may come to your aid Sunday. First United Methodist Church, 209 E. Mill St., Landis, will host an Open Door Free Store on Sunday from noon to 2 p.m. at its fellowship building. “We just feel like these clothes were meant to pass through our hands,” said the Rev. Bev Coppley, pastor at First United Methodist. The items are COPPLEY gently used and donated, she said. The clothes were sitting unclaimed and unused in a warehouse and in church members’ closets. “We didn’t feel like it was right to do anything else with it,” Coppley said. Coppley estimates the church has collected between 230 and 250 pounds of clothing, and all the items have been washed.

The Republican-led General Assembly has passed a bill local legislators say will help balance the budget, but it could face the governor’s veto because it takes money from economic development funds. The House voted 66-51 along party lines Thursday in favor of the measure, which attempts to collect about $540 million in savings from the current-year budget and reserves and now heads to Democratic Gov. Bev Perdue’s desk. The Senate agreed to the plan earlier this week. Perdue hasn’t said whether she’d veto the bill. Her administration has vehemently opposed the loss of about $75 million in economic incentives money the bill directs to be held back or intercepted, saying it will damage her ability to recruit jobs at the wrong time. “This piece of legislation attacks the capacity of the governor and the secretary of commerce to do the job of job creation,” Perdue said Monday. “So if you’re cutting jobs money, what you’re doing is cutting jobs for the people of North Carolina and I think that’s inexcusable.” Sen. Andrew Brock, who repre-

sents Rowan and Davie counties, said legislators decided to transfer $140 million in unencumbered money to help make up for a $2.7 billion to $3 billion shortfall in the current budget.

Republicans pushing challenge to federal health overhaul RALEIGH — A challenge to the federal health care overhaul is inching closer to Gov. Beverly Perdue’s desk. A Senate judiciary committee approved a Republican measure that seeks to block a requirement that most people must buy health insurance or face a penalty. The measure also tells Attorney General Roy Cooper to defend the challenge in court. The measure now heads to the full Senate for a likely vote next week. The House approved it last week. There was no debate in committee Thursday after discussion earlier in the week. Perdue has-
the meeting occurs inside a government building. SNYTHETIC MARIJUANA: The Senate unanimously approved a bill to outlaw small packets of herbal incense that pack the mind-altering effects of marijuana, but also carry health risks. The Senate voted 50-0 to ban the synthetic compounds sold in gas stations, convenience stores and head shops under names including “Spice” and “K2.” The products mix herbs and spices that are then sprayed with a chemical compound similar to the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. It is smoked from pipes or after rolling it in paper. Possession of more than a half-ounce would become a misdemeanor.
CRIMINAL EVIDENCE: The House agreed to make it easier for information in criminal cases obtained in violation of the state constitution to be entered into evidence if the person who obtained the information believed it was done in good faith that the actions were legal. The legislation seeks an exception to the socalled “exclusionary rule” for evidence such as one allowed under the U.S. constitution. The exception may apply in situations where the wrong form was used in a search warrant, or the warrant contained an administrative mistake. A judge would decide if the exception applied. The bill was approved by a vote of 81-36 despite complaints by some members

We thought it would be good for Valentine’s Day weekend,” Coppley said. The pastor said she’s been inspired by the congregation’s support of this project.
She said she’s been talking to the church about the passage of scripture in 1 John 3:18, where the Bible encourages people to show love to people in need. The church is demonstrating love in action, Coppley said. “The sermon Sunday will start at the pulpit and end at the Open Door Free Store,” she said.

House Minority Leader Joe Hackney, D-Orange, said he expected Perdue to veto the bill. “I just don’t think that she can sit still, as successful as she has been recruiting jobs, for many of the tools that she uses to get those jobs being taken away,” Hackney said. Perdue has been most unhappy with losing $8.2 million for the One North Carolina Fund and Job Development Investment Grant program. Another $67.6 million heading for the Golden Leaf Foundation, which receives half of North Carolina’s share of the national tobacco settlement and makes grants to help economically distressed areas, would be intercepted. Tillis said Republican leaders offered to run a compromise amendment for Democrats and Perdue’s office that would have restored some funds, but he said they declined to go along. Perdue couldn’t officially take action on the bill until at least Monday, the same day she’s scheduled to give her State of the State address to a joint session of the Legislature, because the measure must still be ratified by Tillis and Senate leader Phil Berger, R-Rockingham. “Families in North Carolina are struggling,” said David Parker, Democratic Party Chair, in a press release Wednesday. “The last thing we need to do in this bad economy is to cut funding for proven programs that create jobs and train workers.” The Associated Press contributed to this report.
ditures going into next year’s budget.” Another Rowan County representative, Harry Warren, also said the bill will help save teachers’ jobs and important services from being cut. “Should we put millions of dollars in funds speculating that we can get a company here and create jobs?” Warren said. “Or, given our financial situation, do we keep the money now and save the jobs we already have?” All three legislators said if more money is needed to bring a specific business to North Carolina, a request can be brought before the General Assembly. House Speaker Thom Tillis, R-Mecklenburg, said the Perdue administration and Democrats were misleading the public by saying the measure would kill jobs. “Bring me the specific job creating propositions that will not go forward as the result of this bill,” Tillis said. “And I have to tell you, I’m not having to clear my calendar to hear it. So bring it and we’ll address it.” Tillis said he didn’t know what Perdue would do on the measure, but the legislature doesn’t appear right now to the have the votes to withstand a veto.

Weather permitting, the N.C. Department of Transportation will close various lanes of U.S. 52 beginning Saturday at 8 a.m. to relocate and install concrete barriers and guardrail, do paving work and add new pavement markings. At least one lane of U.S. 52 will be open at all times to traffic. Once the work is completed Sunday evening, NCDOT will move traffic from the existing southbound Liberty Street bridge to a newly constructed temporary detour bridge. Crews will work continuously through Sunday at 5 p.m. to complete this portion of the project. Law enforcement officers will patrol the work zone to enhance safe-

Amtrak briefly suspends mid-day trains The North Carolina Department of Transportation is reminding train passengers who travel on North Carolina’s Amtrak Piedmont and Carolinian between Raleigh and Charlotte that service will be suspended for the next 10 weeks beginning Monday. During the disruption in service, improvements will be made to enhance the ride, making it smoother, with better on-time reliability this spring. Norfolk Southern Railway will begin reconditioning tracks, signals and bridges along the Raleigh to Charlotte corridor. All work is scheduled for completion Thursday, April 21, weather permitting. Crews will perform the work Monday through Thursday each week. To accommodate the work, the Piedmont mid-day service (Trains 74 and 75) will be temporarily suspended Monday through Thursday, from Feb. 14 to April 21. No alternate transportation will be provided. Friday, Saturday and Sunday service will operate on modified schedules during this time. The Piedmont morning and evening service (Trains 73 and 76) and the Carolinian morning and evening service (Trains 79 and 80) will run on modified schedules from Feb. 14 to April 21. The temporary service suspensions and schedule adjustments are necessary to complete the project in just 10 weeks. Without the accelerated work schedule, the project would last through the summer and severely impact all passenger train operations during peak travel months. Passengers can also download adjusted schedules for both the Piedmont and Carolinian trains at bytrain.org http://bytrain.org/docs/ Carolinian_Piedmont_Adjusted_Schedules_021411.pdfor call 1-800BYTRAIN for information.
Landis Public Works receives award for safety record The Landis Public Works Department was presented a No Lost Time Accident award from ElectriCities of North Carolina on Jan. 28. The award recognizes the department for achieving a perfect record of no lost work day accidents during 2009. It was the eighth straight year the town has achieved a perfect safety record. “ElectriCities is proud of the Landis Public Works department for achieving this recognition,” said David Young, ElectriCities senior safety and training specialist. “Electric power line work can be very hazardous when working in and around high voltage energized conductors. Landis’ Public Works Department is always ready to meet the challenge.” The National Safety Council has reported that every lost-day work injury costs an average of $28,000. Achieving an entire year of no lost-day work injuries can positively affect worker’s compensation insurance rates. While the financial impact is important, the real reward of an effective safety program is that employees are able to work in a safe environment and return home to enjoy life with their families. “A good safety program involves the effort of everyone, including the mayor and town council, as they have broad authority over providing proper equipment and ongoing safety training,” Young said. “This award is also a credit to supervisors and workers, demonstrating that they can work as a team and look out for each other. Safety first really does pay both financial rewards and in human value.”

Authorities seized 12 marijuana plants they found growing in an outbuilding.
Police charge man for pot growing operation ROCKWELL — The Rowan County Sheriff’s Office charged a man Thursday after finding a marijuana-growing operation on property he owns. John Heilig Spry, 48, of 320 Villa Woods Drive, is charged with possession with intent to sell marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. Spry was growing 12 marijuana plants in an outbuilding he owns at 210 Joetta Lane, the Sheriff’s Office reported. A warrant allowed deputies with SPRY the sheriff’s Special Investigation Unit to enter the building, where they found the plants, along with grow lights, timers and fans. Spry received a $3,000 bond and will appear in court today.

PREPARE FOR THE UNEXPECTED Major general urges Livingstone students to seek out their passion BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com
Cornell Wilson Jr. told Livingstone College students Thursday during a Founder’s Day convocation that inspiration is everywhere, you just have to keep an open mind. “Prepare for the unexpected,” he said. Wilson, a retired major general in the United States Marine Corps, was the keynote speaker during the 132nd annual event, which honors the college’s founder and first president Dr. Joseph Charles Price, a scholar, preacher, orator and human rights activist. Using words spoken by President Barack Obama during the recent State of the Union address, Wilson evoked an anything’s-possible attitude to the audience. “He said ‘our destiny remains our choice,’ ” Wilson said. “In essence, he said find what you’re passionate about, or another way of putting it is from a well-known sneaker company, ‘just do it.’ ” Wilson encouraged students to fulfil their destinies by embracing challenges and seeking their niche. He said his own life took an unexpected turn while he was attending school at the University of South Carolina. “I didn’t know any Marines in my hometown, nor did I know how to get there, because back then there was a mandatory draft and there weren’t recruiters coming to my high school,” he said. “It was only when I got to college that I found my pathway to my dreams.” Wilson said his “a-ha moment” came when he met a Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps officer who encouraged him to join. “I took the test and passed with flying colors and the rest, as they say, is history,” he said. “I received a NROTC scholarship and was commissioned as second lieutenant a few years later.” But Wilson said his military career hasn’t always been a breeze. He said race riots and rampant drug use by his peers were challenges he had to overcome in order to move ahead. And Wilson said he attributes his success to the three Ps — passion, performance and personality. “Preparation is interchangeable with passion,” he said. “If you haven’t found your passion, you should be preparing yourself.” He told students to sharpen their minds, strengthen their bodies and remain spiritually strong. Wilson said performance also dictates success and he urged students to do their very best in every aspect of their lives. Personality and philanthropy also go hand in hand, he said. “I’m talking about love of mankind, but that doesn’t mean you have to go down the street hugging everybody you see,” Wilson said. “It simply means being more self aware, looking out for the interest of others.” Miss Livingstone College Cassaundra Rhodes also

Livingstone College president dr. Jimmy R. Jenkins, sr. introduces the keynote speaker of the annual Founders’ day program, retired us marine maj. Gen. Cornell Wilson Jr. talked about giving back. “How many people’s lives will we touch?” she asked. “What are we doing now to establish and secure our success?” Rhodes said students should look for opportunities to be role models through mentoring and volunteer work. Livingstone President Dr. Jimmy Jenkins Sr. said it was an honor to have Wilson as a guest speaker Thursday. “He stands out because of the fact that he has reached an apex in the military and that is important because he persevered and made it to the top of the mountain,” he said. “Part of the challenge in our institution is to continue to provide role models for our students so that they can clearly see that it’s not about theory, but, indeed, in practice.”
Jenkins said as he looks to the future of the college, he also remembers the past. “(Founder’s Day) is a day that we refortify our grip on the Pricean pledge that no matter how dark the night, we believe in the coming of the morning and the promise that comes with the rising of the sun,” he said. “The art of the possible still lives.” The convocation included performances of “Lift Ev’ry Voice and Sing,” “The Lord’s Prayer” and “Great Is Thy Faithfulness,” by the Livingstone concert choir. The choir was directed by DaVaughn Miller. The program concluded with the annual processional to Price’s mausoleum on campus, where senior class president LaShaundra Ferguson presented a wreath to Price’s family members. The wreath, adorned with
blue and white flowers, was then placed at the burial site. Contact reporter Sarah Campbell at 704-797-7683.

Three massive striped-bass kills at Outer Banks spur anger BY GLENN HUDSON For the Salisbury Post
The North Carolina Marine Fisheries Commission is convening at Pine Knolls Shores, N.C, this week to revisit commercial striped-bass regulations after three separate incidents in the past month where a commercial trawler has littered the ocean surface with thousands of dead and dying stripers that were caught but were deemed over their allowable limit and thus discarded overboard. This process, known as “high-grading,” means that trawler captains can legally discard the extra fish overboard, a practice which is considered highly unethical by many in the marine recreational and conservation communities. Oddly enough, many recreational and commercial fisherman seem to agree that the problem is caused by a lack of proper regulation by the Commission. “The MFC has an obligation to responsibly manage these resources,” said Jay Dail, chairman of the Coastal Conservation Association of North Carolina, in a prepared statement. “Allowing a fishery to dump thousands of dead stripers over the side as a regular course of doing business is not responsible management. At the very least, the Commission should immediately outlaw the use of indiscriminate, highly destructive trawls in state waters in favor of more selective gear.” From the commercial-fishing perspective, Britton Shackelford, of the group North Carolina Watermen United, said that favoring recreational fishing when making rules about fisheries management does a great disservice to the largest user of the resource, which is the seafood-eating public. “You have to understand that stewardship of the resource is my number one concern,” said Shackelford, who says his organization speaks for 250,000 people that make a living by fishing in North Carolina. Shackelford himself is a commercial fisherman, but he also runs a charter fishing business, spends a great deal of time recreationally
fishing with his family and loves to eat seafood. He feels he represents all the user groups for the marine resource rather than just one special interest, namely recreational fishermen. “I am highly invested in the fishery resources of this state. I’m very passionate about the three user groups, recreation, charter, and commercial. But there is a user group that nobody that takes into consideration and that is the consumer. There is a seafood-consuming public that has a right to eat the most regulated seafood in the world, and that is American seafood. There is no other country in the world that gives the benefit of the doubt to the fishery as much as we do.” That argument falls on deaf ears to many of the charter-boat crews and recreational anglers that witnessed the discard first hand on the water. “We will not be satisfied until we get gamefish status for them (stripers),” said Capt. Rick Caton, of Cape Hatterass, who said that dead stripers were floating for miles after each of the three discards. “Until you take the dollar sign off their head in North Carolina, they will be beaten down unmercifully.” Oddly enough, the past few weeks have seen extreme highs for this fishery as well. In a span of two days from Jan. 5-7, two separate anglers caught pending state-record stripers weighing 62 and 63 pounds respectively fishing out of Oregon Inlet, in the vicinity where all three commercial striped bass discards took place. Keith Angel caught the now-pending staterecord 63-pound fish on The Poacher operated by Capt. Devin Cage. Angler Case Furlough caught his 62-pound striper with Capt. Charles Haywood of Rigged Up Charters. The fishing has been spectacular out of Oregon Inlet this winter season due to the fact that the extreme cold in the north east has pushed the striper schools further south this year in search of their ideal water temperature range, which is between 65 and 70 degrees. During warmer winters, the stripers
often stay further north off the coasts of Virginia and Maryland. The great fishing has recreational anglers and commercial fisherman shoulderto-shoulder within the threemile range that they are allowed to fish off North Carolina. And there is a great deal of anger by each group toward the other as regards to how the state’s fisheries resources should be allocated. The commercial fisherman generally see recreational fisherman as trying to hoard a resource for their own use, eliminating the non-fishing general public. On the other hand, recreational and conservation groups say that overfishing by commercial interests will wipe out the resource entirely and nobody will catch anything if something doesn’t change soon. As for the solution, Shackelford readily admits that what has happened off the Outer Banks is unacceptable from a commercial fisherman’s perspective. But, he says, the issue is more about the North Carolina Marine Fisheries Commission not showing leadership on the issue. “We need to make sure there is no regulatory discard,” he said. “And we need to make sure that every pound we catch goes against our quota from the Marine Fisheries Commission. It needs to be against the law to dump fish. And if you catch more than your allotment we need to determine what to do from that point forward.” Shackelford is adamant that commercial fisherman’s interests are protected as well, in terms of both jobs for fisherman and food for Americans. Depending on the outcome of the meeting today, the way commercial fisherman operate off North Carolina’s waters could dramatically change.

CrimeRoundup Electronics stolen from motorhome BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com
Authorities say thieves broke into a 42-foot motorcoach at Bill Plemmons RV World on West Ritchie Road and stole $4,429 worth of electronics. The theft happened Monday or Tuesday. Someone cut the fencing around the back of the property and broke into the recreational vehicle. The thieves stole three televisions, a $1,000 in-dash navigation system, a surround sound system and other stereo equipment. Damages to the vehicle included the window on the door and molding. The navigation system, one television and the surround sound system have been entered into the National Crime Information Center. Detective Chad Moose said investigators have good physical evidence — including fingerprints, a screwdriver bit set and a toboggan — but no leads. Moose said he hopes someone will come forward with information. Moose said although the business is well-lighted and visible from Interstate 85, it is on a dead-end road. And this is not the first time it has been hit by thieves. In June 2009 and July 2010, the business was broken into the same way it was this week — someone cut the back fence and stripped electronics from the vehicles. Investigators ask anyone with information to contact the Sheriff’s Office at 704-216-8700 or Salisbury-Rowan Crimestoppers at 1-866-639-5245.
Fugitive called police to report stolen cash CHINA GROVE — The
Georgia woman arrested Tuesday on charges of being a fugitive made a mistake that attracted deputies’ attention, authorities said. When her ex-boyfriend took $100 from her purse without her permission, she called authorities to report the theft, but her plan to charge her ex resulted in her own arrest by the Rowan County SherBINION iff’s Office. Anita Ann Binion, 35, was charged Tuesday night at 101 Crepe Myrtle Lane with being a fugitive from justice for forgery charges from LaGrange, Ga., and was placed in the Rowan County jail under a $2,000 secured bond. Authorities in Georgia plan to extradite her.
Rope leads to drug charge GRANITE QUARRY — A Salisbury man faces charges after a deputy followed a strange-looking rope in his car to a canister of methadone pills, the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office said. The Sheriff’s Office said someone at This-n-That Trading Post reported thinking John Julian Eaton, 39, of 515 T. Brown Road, had a gun EATON while walking around the store. When deputies arrived, Eaton consented to a personal search, and deputies found no gun. Eaton also allowed deputies to search his car. They

found no gun there, but a deputy noticed a yellow rope sticking out of an opening in the hand brake; on the other end of the rope, deputies found a pill canister with seven methadone pills inside. The report said Eaton claimed he didn’t know where the pills came from or how they got there. The investigation continued, and authorities got warrants for Eaton’s arrest Feb. 8. He was arrested Thursday. Eaton is charged with felony possession with intent to sell or deliver a schedule II controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. He received a $2,500 secured bond.
Student charged with trash can fire SPENCER — Police charged a student Thursday after they say he started a fire at North Rowan High School. William Dejon Ervin, 19, of East Spencer, is charged with felony burning of public building. He was in jail Thursday afternoon under a $5,000 secured bond. When asked about the incident, Rowan-Salisbury School System spokeswoman Rita Foil said a student started a small fire in a trash can in the media center around 10 a.m., and the fire was quickly put out by school staff. Foil said ERVIN there were no injuries or damages, and the school did not have to be evacuated. Foil would not confirm that Ervin was the student who started the fire, but Spencer Police Chief Michael James did.

Investigators: No cause on Ft. Bragg infant deaths FORT BRAGG (AP) — There is no evidence that toxic drywall or other environmental factors contributed to a string of unexplained infant deaths at Fort Bragg, federal officials said Thursday. Investigators conducted thousands of tests at two homes on the post, including one house linked to three of the 10 deaths in question. Jack McCarthy, president of environmental testing contractor Environmental Health and Engineering Inc.,
said the results indicated normal conditions. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission led the investigation. “We have safe and secure housing for our families,” said Col. Stephen Sicinski, the Fort Bragg garrison commander. McCarthy said investigators are still testing some pesticides that showed slightly elevated levels at one home. But he said initial samples indicated that the pesti-
cides were simply on the upper end of a normal range and do not pose a health hazard. Officials had done some initial testing on all homes at the post, while doing intensive tests on the two homes. They said extensive testing was not necessary on all the homes at the post. Much of the federal investigation focused on whether the homes contained problematic drywall imported from China. Officials deter-
mined that the drywall in the homes at Fort Bragg was from the U.S. and was not hazardous. Chinese-made drywall has been linked to corrosion in thousands of homes, mostly in Florida, Virginia, Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a report issued in January that there was no link between the defective drywall and the deaths of 11
people living in homes with the drywall in three states. Officials have spent months reviewing the deaths of 10 infants at Fort Bragg over a four-year period. A medical examiner determined that one was caused by sudden-infant death syndrome, while the other nine remain unexplained. Chris Grey, a spokesman for the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command, said investigators are still reviewing all 10 cases and don’t have
a time frame on when the probe will be done. “This has helped us narrow our focus,” Grey said. Grey declined to discuss other avenues Army investigators may be looking at. More than 6,200 families live on Fort Bragg along with 15,000 other personnel. Sicinski said he didn’t know how much money had been spent on the investigation and testing. He said it was expensive but that the costs didn’t matter.
Cary bank standoff ends; police kill armed suspect
DO YOU HAVE TOENAIL FUNGUS ON BIG TOE?
AssoCiATed press
A hostage is led from a Wachovia Bank in Cary, where an armed man took four people hostage Thursday. Television footage showed the subject was shot as he exited the bank with a hostage. ing’s door. Three people remained inside, but Bazemore said Mitchell wasn’t aware of one of them. She said that hostage was relaying information to authorities outside. As darkness fell, Mitchell slowly walked out of the bank with the woman hostage. Officers swarmed and the suspect fell to the ground amid a cluster of gunshots and smoke. The hostage fell to her knees but was apparently unharmed. “I’m shaken. I hope I don’t have to see something like that again,” said 16-year-old Zackery Marvel, who watched the dramatic conclusion from an apartment complex nearby.
Cary is consistently ranked as both one of the nation’s safest places to live and one of its fastest-growing. Marvel said he doesn’t feel safe anymore after witnessing the scene unfold near his high school. The bank was not far from the Kids R Kids daycare, where officers helped evacuate about 100 children to safety. Four schools near the bank were also locked down. Bazemore said the State Bureau of Investigation would be assessing the shooting, as it typically does with all shootings involving law enforcement officers. “I stand behind our officers and what they did,” Bazemore said.
StateBriefs Racial Justice Act for death row appeals upheld RALEIGH (AP) — A judge ruled Thursday to uphold North Carolina’s law allowing death row inmates to appeal their sentences based on claims of racial bias. Forsyth County Superior Court Judge William Wood rejected arguments from prosecutors that the 2009 law was too vague, according to attorney Ken Rose, who represents one of two men whose cases were at issue before the judge. The case stemmed from racial bias challenges filed by death row inmates Errol Moses and Carl Moseley. Moses, who is black, was convicted of killing two black men while Moseley, who is white, was convicted of killing two white women. Prosecutors say most of North Carolina’s 158 death row inmates are trying to use the law to overturn their sentences, including what they contend are absurd challenges from white inmates convicted of killing white victims. The Forsyth County case was the first, and so far only, legal challenge to the law. The proceedings were closely followed around the state, with some prosecutors from other districts attending court sessions in Winston-Salem this week to listen to arguments in the case. Rose said Wood’s ruling bolsters what attorneys for the inmates have argued all along. “It’s very significant,” he said. Tye Hunter, executive director of the Durham-based Center for Death Penalty Litigation, which has coordinated efforts to file cases on behalf of inmates under the new law, said Thursday the ruling was not a surprise. “I thought the state’s arguments were borderline frivo-
lous,” he said. “As legal arguments, I thought they were very weak.” Calls to Forsyth County prosecutor David Hall were not immediately returned Thursday.
Higher tuition seems ahead for college students CHAPEL HILL (AP) — Tuition at North Carolina’s public universities appear to be headed higher next fall, with undergraduates at some campuses seeing double-digit jumps for in-state rates. The budget committee for the University of North Carolina Board of Governors on Thursday backed the tuition increases as expected. A final vote by the board is expected Friday. Most of the 16 university campuses plan to raise tuition by the 6.5 percent maximum set by the governing board. That will mean an extra $313 on top of this year’s undergraduate tuition of $4,800 at UNC-Chapel Hill, and an extra $170 for the North Carolina A&T State University undergraduate now paying $2,600. Some campuses decided to spread out special increases that kicked in last year, meaning double-digit increases this fall.
Fake pot bill passes NC Senate, now on to House RALEIGH (AP) — The North Carolina Senate has unanimously approved a bill to outlaw small packets of herbal incense that pack the mind-altering effects of marijuana, but also carry health risks.
The Senate voted 50-0 on Thursday to ban the synthetic compounds sold in gas stations, convenience stores and head shops under names including “Spice” and “K2.” The products mix herbs and spices that are then sprayed with a chemical compound similar to the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. It is smoked from pipes or after rolling it in paper. The packets of synthetic marijuana sold in stores are usually less than half an ounce, and possession of that amount wouldn’t be punished. Possession of more than a half-ounce would become a misdemeanor.
Bird guano on bridge prompts explosive response WRIGHTSVILLE BEACH (AP) — Officials hope firecrackers will scare away the birds that have been coating the drawbridge to Wrightsville Beach with their droppings. The StarNews of Wilmington reports that state and federal wildlife officials used small pyrotechnics this week to frighten cormorants trying to perch on power lines over the bridge. Hundreds of the birds have roosted on the bridge each winter, leaving the span caked with acidic, foul-smelling guano. It’s a potential health hazard for boaters, residents and city workers who have to clean up the mess. The Department of Transportation says there’s so much of the stuff that acid from the droppings could compromise the bridge’s integrity. Wildlife officials say the firecrackers appear to be working.

CARY (AP) — A teenager who detained several people inside a suburban bank Thursday emerged from the building holding a gun to the head of one of his captives and was shot dead by police after three hours of tense negotiations helped by a hidden hostage who was feeding authorities information. The gruesome final scene in the quiet suburban town played out live on television during the dinner hour. None of the hostages nor any of the officers involved were injured, authorities said. “This is absolutely not how we wanted this to end,” Cary Police Chief Pat Bazemore said. “It is a very sad situation that we did end up shooting the suspect.” The standoff began around 3 p.m. when the man attempted to rob a Wachovia bank on the western edge of Cary, a booming suburb west of Raleigh that prides itself in having little crime. Police arrived within two minutes and found the man had taken hostages. Authorities said 19-yearold Devon Mitchell of Cary held as many as seven people in the bank and officers were able to negotiate the release of four of them. Two women were released shortly after police arrived, and two more people were released an hour later. During one of the releases, overhead television footage showed one of the hostages running from the building quickly while the second fell to the ground outside the bank’s door and didn’t move. Officers rushed to her side, helped her up and ran backward while keeping their guns aimed at the build-

hellebores bloom in early spring, but may be late after this winter. they come in many varieties and colors.
Versatile hellebores are great choice for the garden BY JEAN GILLOOLY Master Gardener Volunteer
Hellebores are a genus of evergreen plants belonging to the buttercup family (Ranunculacae). These plants bloom in mid-winter to early spring before most other plants are showing flowers, but flowering may have been delayed by the harsh winter this year. Some flowering stems are just beginning to show in February. The flowers have five sepals and prominent stamens as well as cup-like nectarines which are petals that hold nectar. The sepals last several months. Some of the flowers resemble roses but are not in the rose family. The palmate, leathery leaves are divided into five to 11 leaflets which emerge from a central point and have toothed edges. The flowers bloom above the leaves. Hellebores are recommended as shade plants, but a little sunlight is beneficial to the plants’ health. There are 20 species of Helleborus. One of the better known ones is Christmas rose (H. niger), which has 5-inch white sepals that turn pink with age. A legend says that the Christmas rose sprouted from the snow from the tears of a young
girl who had no gift for the Christ Child. Lenten rose (H. orientalis), which blooms in early spring, bears clusters of purple, pink or even dark maroon sepals. Sometimes the outer surfaces are tinged with green. H. orientalis is used for producing hybrids (H.x hybridus). This is part of a group of auculescent hellebores, meaning with no visible stems above ground. Many hybrids are available with a large variety of colors and bloom size.

Blueberries are good eating and good looking T
hose who want small fruit as part of an edible landscape may want to strongly consider blueberry plants. Blueberries are considered a dual purpose shrub, possessing both aesthetics as a border planting as well as a plant that produces DARRELL BLACKWELDER ample supplies of delicious fruit. With today’s economic conditions, incorporating a fruit- producing shrub that looks good makes sense. Also, research has proven that the berries produce antioxidants that are beneficial in reducing many types of cancers. There are three main types of cultivated blueberries, although the rabbiteye type is most often recommended for Piedmont growing conditions. Tifblue, Powderblue, Woodard and Climax are just a few named varieties that adapt to our
growing conditions. Acid loving plants, blueberries need growing conditions similar to azaleas, camellias and rhododendron. The general consensus is if you can grow azaleas, you can grow blueberries. Well drained, low pH organic soils are preferred for maximum growth and development. Native blueberries or huckleberries are often found growing wild in woodland areas. However, for good production, cultivated blueberries also need full sun with an ample supply of water, especially during droughts. Because blueberries are relatively insect- and disease-free, little or no pesticides are needed for the crop. The only real competitor is birds which seem to enjoy them as soon as they begin to ripen. Blueberry plants need very little pruning until they become mature plants. Older, non-productive wood is removed, allowing new wood for increased fruit production. More information on blue-
berry production can be found at http://www.ces.ncsu. edu/depts/hort/hil /hil-202.html.

Q: Eight years ago, I purchased a 1920s two-story home that has remained mostly original except for modern upgrades for wiring, heating and appliances. After moving in, we noticed a small stain on the ceiling of the kitchen. The kitchen faces south and extends out away from the walls of the second story. There is no bathroom above the kitchen that could cause a leak. I checked the attic area above the kitchen and saw what looked like a coneshaped pile of dirt where the stain is. We have painted over the stain a few times, but it always returns in the same place. Can you shed some light on what could cause the stain? A: 1. Just because there is no bathroom above the kitchen does not mean there are no plumbing pipes in the attic. The kitchen sink has a vent pipe for the sink’s drainage system that most likely passes over the kitchen ceiling to reach the second story’s exterior wall. The pipe will eventually connect to a vent pipe in the second-story bathroom and that pipe will terminate above the roof. If the pipe leaks at the roofline, the water could travel down the pipe and drip over the kitchen ceiling. 2. Metal ducts for the second-floor registers can form condensation in the attic and drip on the ceiling. Insulating the ducts would stop the condensation. 3. Where the kitchen’s roofline intersects the second floor’s vertical walls, a driving rain or snowmelt could seep through the flashing joints. The rainwater will collect on a rafter or on the roof’s decking boards and flow downward until the water pools on a nail, a seam of the decking or a splinter of a rafter where it drips on the ceiling. Caulking the seam will help until the flashings can be replaced. 4. If there is a window on the second floor above the kitchen, a driving rain can enter at the seals around the window frame, enter the exterior wall and flow down the roof to the ceiling. Caulking will help until the window can be repaired. 5. The pile of dirt in the attic could be a nest for birds or rodents that found a home in your attic. Excrement and urine from these pests can stain the ceiling below the nest. Professional pest-control operators can determine if the pile is a nest and can eradicate the problem. 6. Bats tend to make their homes in dark places such as cold attics where they perch from the rafters during the day, leaving their perch only as the sun sets. Bat droppings form a cone-shaped pile like what you described. As the droppings dry, the moisture could cause a stain on the ceiling below. Before attempting to disturb a bat’s habitat, contact your state’s Department of Natural Resources for proper identification.

3. Play to the other’s strengths. Our differences are often what make us so powerful as couples. But it can be easy to lose sight of that when her tendency to type-A cleanliness clashes with his inability to find and put clothes inside the hamper, rather than on top ... or next to. Find ways to play to each other’s strengths. For example, assign chores on the basis of each other’s strengths. And when planning activities, let the creative one come up with a list of things to do (museum trips, a painting class, jazz concert), while the type-A one actually follows through on all of the details and bookings. 4. Pick a card, any card. Is there anything better than opening the mailbox and finding a fun piece of mail rather than the latest cell-phone bill? Buy four cards that make you laugh (or cry) and send them throughout the year, rather than just the one day. 5. It’s a numbers game. This is a game better for those who’ve been together longer, but surprise each other with a list according to the number of years you’ve been together. Married for five years?

a pass on the Valentine’s Day hoopla, as long as you celebrate the meaning behind it throughout the year. Five ways you can feel the love all year long 1. Be honest. Skipping Valentine’s Day has to be a joint decision, so definitely have a talk about it or you’ll be in the doghouse. Have an honest conversation when you have time together (not when you’re running out the door to soccer practice) and see how the other person feels. If your spouse or significant other wants the pink-filled candies and mushy sentiments, then so be it. 2. Be a little selfish. No, we don’t mean the kind of selfish where you scarf down an entire canister of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream without sharing. A recent New York Times article showed that the happiest married couples were those who were selfish in the sense that they refused to lose themselves completely in a relationship and, conversely, allowed the other to express themselves as individuals. In other words, true love is not really about a date-night escape, but rather about being respected and loved for your unique traits (all of them) and reciprocating. So if you’re married to someone who can’t see a snowflake without dreaming of ski lifts, but you’re more of a hot-chocolate-in-thelodge type, go along for the ride (and bring a book). You’ll be happier as a couple for it.

Move the pan onto a table, remove the lid and place your face (close your eyes) about 10 inches over the pan. Place a towel over your head to keep the steam contained. Relax like this for a few minutes. Afterward, apply cool water and a moisturizer to face and lip balm to lips (and avoid licking them). Exfoliate: Scrub your skin to slough off dead skin.

Dry skin is common during winter. Not only is it unsightly, but it can be itchy and painful, too. There are plenty of expensive products available, but can you manage your dry skin on a frugal budget. S t a r t with eating well, getting SARA plenty of NOEL rest and destressing. I recommend you see a doctor if your dry skin is more than a minor annoyance. A professional can give you the best advice for your skin type. You can mention the following suggestions and get feedback, too. Water: Drink plenty of water and soak in water, too. Avoid long, hot showers (use warm water) or strongscented and drying soaps. Use bar soaps that are considered beauty bars that contain lanolin, cocoa butter or coconut oil. When soaking in the tub, add a cup or two of Aveeno (or grind your own oatmeal to use) or add some powdered milk. Afterward, apply baby oil to your skin to lock in moisture. And speaking of water, run a humidifier to add moisture to the air and your skin, too. Vaseline: For hands and feet, apply a liberal amount of petroleum jelly at bedtime, cover with socks (or cotton gloves for hands) and leave on overnight. Baby wipes: Look for wipes that contain aloe vera and vitamin E. They can be a quick way to clean your face before you head out or when you first get back home. Use the wipes to remove makeup, too. Olive oil: Add essential oil for scent if desired. Apply to skin. A little goes a long way, so don’t apply a lot. Other oils that work well are jojoba, mineral, avocado, coconut, primrose, vitamin E, almond and emu. Gloves: If you do dishes, wear gloves to prevent dry or cracked hands. Use a moisturizer that contains humectants such as glycerin. Steam treatments: For an occasional indulgence, boil some water in a pan with herbs such as lavender, mint, citrus slices, rosemary or sage (4:1 ratio), or add es-

Dear Freaked Out: Your mother is depressed, and her depression is affecting her sleeping, eating and ability to relate to the people who care so much about her. One maddening aspect of depression is how it saps the person’s desire and ability to do anything about it. Your mother will need your assistance to get help. Sit with her, and urge her to call her doctor while you are there. Take her to the appointment, and if she will let you speak with her doctor, share your concerns. Dear Amy: Your advice for “Conflicted” was off the mark. I had a friend’s boyfriend sexually solicit me years ago and was torn: to tell or not to tell. My conscience won, and I told her; she didn’t believe me, and I lost a dear friend. Despite this, I knew I had done the right thing. Years later, she caught him cheating. They broke up, and she apologized. She should tell her friend immediately! Regardless of what this woman does with the information, “Conflicted” will know that she did everything in her power to protect her friend. — Been There in NY Dear Been There: Thank you for sharing your personal experience.

ers, clerks and fellow shoppers for — being too kind to your children seems unnecessarily harsh. It is not someone else’s job to help you discipline your children. I understand that in your view these kindly, patient and indulgent people are undermining you, but that is your problem — not a fault of theirs in need of correction. Your response to this should be fairly simple: When Jimmy accidentally knocks over a floor display because he’s fumbling with its contents and a shopkeeper says, “That’s OK — he’s young, I’ll clean it up,” you can respond politely and correct your son by saying, “That is so nice of you to say, but Jimmy knows it isn’t OK, because we have already talked about this.” Then you can say, “Jimmy is going to apologize to you and then help pick up these trinkets.” Dear Amy: I am concerned about my mother. About two years ago she lost her job. Since then she has become more and more introverted. She spends hours on Facebook. She sleeps quite a bit during the day and very little at night. She makes excuses not to leave her house. She doesn’t see her family unless we come to her home. She is overweight and has a few health concerns but nothing that would stop her from leaving her home. When she was approached by a family friend about applying for a job that she is qualified to do, she made excuses that simply weren’t logical. We are very concerned but are out of ideas about how to help her. What can we do? — Freaked Out Family

Dear Amy: As a parent of three young children, I try to teach them basic manners in public, such as taking only one treat or toy when offered, not destroying the displays of trinkets at checkout counters and not running in stores. At the same time I am busy insisting that my kids behave well, when they ASK misbehave the AMY store employees (and even other customers) frequently will smile at my kids and say directly to them, “That’s OK,” or, “No problem — he’s young,” or, “It’s OK; I’ll clean this up.” This makes me crazy! Real accidents sometimes do happen, but most of this behavior is not OK! This response ultimately confuses my child about what is acceptable and what is not, which makes my job as a parent harder. Sometimes other parents undermine me in this way too. I am not an overly strict, controlling, mean or nasty parent! I just believe that basic behavior rules are learned more easily when kids are young. The oldest child is already considered one of the betterbehaved kids in her class. What can I say or do when this happens without making a big fuss? I know they all mean well. I would appreciate it if you would alert other adults about this. — Frustrated Mom Dear Mom: Of all of the things to criticize shopkeep-

AT ROWAN ARTS COUNCIL
A resignation with candor owever you may view the resignation of Anne Cave as executive director of the Rowan Arts Council and the underwear war that preceded it, give both parties a blue ribbon for discussing the departure with candor — even some bluntness. How adult — and how unusual. Too often, we encounter the opposite, where an official abruptly leaves a high-profile position, inevitably to “pursue other interests,” and people simply circle the wagons and clam up, leaving the public to speculate about what’s really going on. Not the case here. Cave was forthright in saying she felt overworked, undercompensated and inadequately appreciated. Arts board President Sue McHugh didn’t exactly agree with that assessment, but she was equally forthright in describing escalating tensions between the board and director, a situation that apparently reached the point of no return when Cave became embroiled in a legal dispute with Salisbury artist Clyde over a pair of men’s underwear displayed in his shop window. Fair enough. Even in the world of nonprofits, directors and their boards can clash over finances, priorities and growth plans. When they can’t resolve their differences, it’s best to part company, wish each other well and get on with tomorrow. Unless there’s some dirty laundry we don’t know about, that’s what happened. Admittedly, Cave was overly zealous in the underwear episode, which ended up in court and brought national notoriety the local arts community would just as soon have avoided. But as McHugh readily acknowledged, Cave is a hard worker with a steadfast commitment to promoting the arts and their vitally important role in the community. You can’t fault her for that.

Fakes will fool you It’s always a good idea to keep a close eye on your money, but especially so given the spate of counterfeit bills showing up recently. Although some businesses use scanning devices to detect illegal currency, the U.S. Secret Service says awareness and your own eyes may be the best safeguards. The agency’s website offers several tips on how to tell a bogus bill from the real thing (www.secretservice.gov/know_your_money.shtml). If you find a suspect bill in your wallet, the Secret Service advises that you immediately hand it over to authorities — and no, you won’t be reimbursed. As a general rule, the last one holding a counterfeit bill takes the loss. In other words, the buck stops with you.

One of the most valuable things we can do to heal one another is listen to each other’s stories. — Rebecca Falls
s a little girl, one of the things I enjoyed most was going to my aunt and uncle’s house. Their house was surrounded on three sides by woods, and at that time, there was not another house in sight. It was a peaceful place to go, but I especially liked sitting under the gigantic oak tree in their backyard. Hanging low to the ground, from one of the limbs of the tree, was a porch swing. Many Sunday afternoons, in the summer, were spent swinging back and forth listening to the creaking of the swing, the twist- DICY MCCULLOUGH ing of the ropes and the rhythmic conversation of adults talking about the latest “news.” In those days, kids were seen and not heard, so if my cousins and I wanted to stay, we knew to be quiet. My aunt and uncle lived in an old house, with lots of land for gardening and raising small animals, like chickens and pigs. Several buildings provided shelter not only for the animals, but also for tools and lumber. Eventually, the chickens and pigs would meet their fate and find themselves on the dinner table. This was not one of the most pleasant of tasks, but it was necessary to feed a family. My aunt and uncle knew how to make the land work for them. Even though there was lots of land available to run and play, my favorite place was always the shade of the oak tree and the swing. After playing a game, my cousins and I would sit and cool off, but first we would make a stop at the well to get a drink of water. It was fun to watch the bucket go down and listen for it to hit the bottom. One of us would slowly turn the rope to pull the bucket back up, full of cold, fresh water. I can still remember the feel and taste of the water pouring into my mouth from the dipper. It was almost like it wouldn’t go in fast enough, and some would drip down my chin. No one ever worried about getting germs or diseases from sharing. When one person finished drinking, the dipper would be passed to the next one standing in line. By late afternoon, everyone’s hopes were that a cool watermelon had been pulled earlier in the day. No one was ever disappointed. The watermelons from my aunt and uncle’s vines were so sweet, each bite was sweeter than the one before. I don’t know what they did to make them taste like that, but I know they were the best I’ve ever eaten. Even to this day, I am hard pressed to find a watermelon as sweet and juicy as any they grew. In some circles, my aunt and uncle might have been considered poor because they didn’t have much in the way of material possessions. Yet, they were rich in friends and family and always had company. I never could figure out, as a child, why so many people would come just to sit and talk. That may be the answer. People came to simply talk. It was a place they felt safe, with no pressures, where they could just be themselves. It’s for sure, they didn’t come to watch television or see some new fancy gadget. There wasn’t a new car to look at or a new appliance in the house. Most of the time no one even went in the house. There was no air-conditioning, so, it was more comfortable sitting under the oak tree. My aunt and uncle were simple people trying to get through the day. What you saw was what you got. No one is suggesting they had it easy, or theirs was a perfect life. Not by any means. They had a hard life. Yet, they knew the secret to a good life, which was to carve out time for family and friends and listen to what they had to say. As adults, often we think we need to impress others with our possessions. Perhaps, all we really need is an oak tree with a swing, a well with a bucket of cold water and time. These things sound simple enough, but, how much are they worth? Just like the commercial says, “Priceless.” • • • Dicy McCullough is the author of a children’s book, “Tired of my Bath,” available at the Literary Book Post and online at www. dicymcculloughsbook.com.

Will work ethic whip us? Chinese outpace us ‘lazy leisure lovers’ n old acquaintance of mine lived near the University of Denver, regularly rented out a room to students at the school, once welcomed a young Chinese man as her scholarly guest and was stunned by his work ethic. He studied, studied, studied, refusing to turn his lights off than a more JAY few hours a AMBROSE night because he could not study in the dark. He spoke freely of the grades he made — straight A’s — as well as his attitude toward American students: contempt. He found them lazy leisure lovers who abused the privilege of higher education, if I correctly recall a summation that came back to me when reading a recent piece in The Wall Street Journal.
A
It was by Amy Chua, a Yale law professor who pointed to rules for her own two daughters in explaining why it is that Chinese families so often include “math whizzes” and “music prodigies.” She allows no sleepovers, TV, computer games or personal choice of extracurricular activities. On the piano and violin, she requires three hours practice a day. On grades, she requires A’s and that the girls beat everyone else in performance in every class but gym and drama. Western parents don’t operate that way, she said, not-
ing that in surveys they worried that emphasizing academic success is too stressful on their children. To Chinese parents, she said, anything but the best is not enough. I read all of this and could not escape the fleeting thought that, sure enough, China wins, a view that seemed confirmed by charts in a nearby story. They showed results of International Student Assessment tests for 15-year-olds. Shanghai, China, comes in first in reading, the United States 17th. In science, Shanghai is first again, the United States 23rd. Then we get to math. Shanghai is still number one, while the United States rounds the bend slowly, huffing puffing, looking sickly, coming in at 31st. My worries need qualification, but first let me worry some more. Too many American schools consider competition a bad thing. It’s not. It motivates. Unearned self-esteem is identified as the gateway to bliss. It’s not. It is the gateway to mediocrity. Practice matters. In “The Outliers,” the author Malcolm Gladwell says several hours of practice a day, beginning very young and adding up to 10,000 hours by the teen years, is needed to shine in almost any field. Our youngsters too often skip the practice but get more hours than that having their brain cells eviscerated by television shows, such as a new one about teenagers on MTV in which there seem to be four themes: sex, drugs, sex and drugs. I believe in hard work and in mothers who tell you what
LETTERS From other side of the sales counter I’m fully aware that times are hard out here in the real world. With that said, when did the abuse of salespeople become an acceptable mood lifter? I work in a specialty store, and my job requires a certain degree of technical knowledge. Those of us who work in the store are far from stupid. We have team members with degrees in business and biology, a computer engineering genius, a talented artist, and a polyglot working on a fourth language and an anthropology degree, among others. Yet for some reason customers think they’re entitled to inform us on a daily basis that we’re idiots. Next time you’re in a retail store and consider reading an associate the riot act, consider this: if you’d want the employee fired for saying it to you, you shouldn’t say it either.

mine did when I was evading Saturday chores, namely, “The world doesn’t owe you a living.” I believe in preachments about self-reliance, self-discipline and the importance of school, and I believe in reading to children constantly and then having them read to themselves constantly when they are able to. But while regimentation may be the Chinese way, it is not ours, and I also endorse the ideas of Anthony Esolen, which I found on the Internet. He is a professor of English at Providence College and has written about ways to destroy the imagination of children, such as by not getting them outdoors often enough, of insisting that all their play be supervised, of not giving them a sense of the transcendent. Creativity flows from the imagination and imagination flows from using it. My guess is that we are more creative than the Chinese, although we may be slipping. I know we play by the rules more than they do, and I believe that opportunistic carelessness on their part will hurt them as time goes on. I don’t really suppose that winning and losing per se is what life is all about, anyway, although we’ll surely regret it if we turn lazy and stupid and quit striving for excellence. The price will be very high. • • • Jay Ambrose, formerly Washington director of editorial policy for Scripps Howard newspapers, is a columnist living in Colorado.

tional debt increased each and every year under the Clinton’s administration. President Clinton never achieved a balanced budget; there certainly was never a budget surplus for President Bush to squander.” On the same day, Bill Ward had his “turn” on how to balance the budget. He said, and I quote: “Bring our young people home from around the world and let other countries solve their own problems. Let Egypt take care of itself. Cut all foreign aid and that will serve to cut our budget considerably.” He also offered this example of costs: It takes $1 million per day to operate an aircraft carrier, and he said “the money that we’re spending for the military on foreign bases and in foreign political conflicts could be better spent to feed and educate American children.” I agree. Since we closed the Norfolk naval base to save money, we have plenty of room to bring home two aircraft carriers. At $1 million per day, that comes to $730 million saved per year. That is a
good savings for President Obama to achieve in his next two years of office. — Steve King Woodleaf
Military honors My brother, Kenneth Helms, passed away on Dec. 21, 2010. He had served our country in the U.S. Navy for 22 years. I am writing due to the respect that was not shown to my brother for his service to our country for our freedom and protection. As stated in his obituary, he was to be given military honors at the U.S. National Cemetery at 11 a.m., Dec. 23. While we were still at his visitation at the funeral home, we were told 20 minutes before going to the cemetery that the military services had been canceled due to another service. How devastating this was to his family and how disrespectful to my brother for his service to his country. I hope and pray that this never happens to your family. — Penny Spears Landis

Calif. court says merchants can’t ask for ZIP codes SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The California Supreme Court ruled Thursday that merchants can no longer ask for the ZIP codes of customers who make purchases with credit cards because such requests violate a state consumer-protection law. The high court’s unanimous decision, which says a ZIP code can be used as “personal identification information,” overturned two lower court decisions tossing out the lawsuit. It delivered retailers in California a setback that an attorney for one national chain said would likely lead to additional lawsuits. The decision Thursday came in a lawsuit filed against Williams-Sonoma Inc., whose clerk asked Jessica Pineda for her ZIP code several years ago. Pineda sued the home retailer in June 2008, saying it violat-
ed the law and her privacy. “It’s a terrible decision,” said Bill Dombrowski, president of the California Retailers Association, which filed a friend-of-the-court brief on William-Sonoma’s side. Dombrowski said it’s too soon to know how disruptive the ruling will be to businesses that routinely require patrons to supply their ZIP codes to authorize a transaction. “It’s fraud prevention.” said Dombrowski, who added that not all California merchants make the request. Gene Stonebarger, Pineda’s attorney, said gas stations that require ZIP codes be entered at the pump are exempt because the gas station “doesn’t record the transaction.” Stonebarger said that information is sent directly to the banks and credit card companies as a security measure and those transactions won’t be affected.

protesters hold shoes to show their contempt and disbelief while listening to egyptian president Hosni Mubarak’s televised statement in cairo on thursday.
Mubarak refuses to step down CAIRO (AP) — Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak refused to step down or leave the country and instead handed his powers to his vice president Thursday, remaining president and ensuring regime control over the reform process. Stunned protesters in central Cairo who demand his ouster waved their shoes in contempt and shouted, “Leave, leave, leave.” The rapidly moving events raised the question of whether a rift had opened between Mubarak and the military command. Hours earlier, a council of the military’s top generals announced it had stepped in to secure the country, and a senior commander announced to protesters in Tahrir Square that all their demands would soon be met. After Mubarak’s speech, protest organizers called for the army to take action to oust him, and they vowed increased protests today. Several hundred thousand had packed into Tahrir Square, ecstatic with expectation that Mubarak would announce his resignation in his nighttime address. Instead, they watched in shocked silence as he spoke, slapping their foreheads in anger and disbelief. Some broke into tears. After Mubarak’s speech, Vice President Omar Suleiman called on the protesters to “go home” and asked Egyptians to “unite and look to the future.” He was already leading the regime’s efforts to deal with the crisis.
Obama says US will support ‘orderly, genuine’ transition WASHINGTON (AP) — Declaring history in the making, President Barack Obama assured Egyptians the U.S. will help its Middle Eastern ally shift from chaos to democracy — provided the government change is genuine. But Hosni Mubarak's refusal to quit sowed more doubts. Obama met with national security aides at the White House. Despite speculation to the contrary, including by the U.S. CIA director, the Egyptian president did not announce he was stepping down. In keeping with a pattern that has held since the unrest began on Jan. 25, Obama was cautious in his words. “We're going to have to wait and see what’s going on,” Obama said.
Obama talks of wireless access in Mich. stop
Trump tells conservatives he may run for president in ’12
MARQUETTE, Mich. (AP) — President Barack Obama promoted plans to bring high-speed wireless to nearly all American households, pushing his domestic agenda in a small, snowy city in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula on a day of dramatic developments in Egypt. Obama kept in touch with his security team throughout the trip and opened his remarks at Northern Michigan University with brief comments on the events overseas, where President Hosni Mubarak appeared close to resigning. But in a late-night speech Egypt’s president announced he was transferring some powers to his deputy. Mubarak did not step down from office. “We are witnessing history unfold,” Obama said. He then turned to the importance of investing in wireless technology, part of a new White House focus on innovation, competitiveness and infrastructure as a pathway to jobs and “winning the future.” The president compared the goal of extending wireless access to important successes that connected previous generations of Americans: the building of railroads and federal highways. Obama wants to make high-speed wireless available to 98 percent of the population within five years, a goal he set out in his State of the Union address.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Just how wide open is the Republican presidential field? Vast enough that Donald Trump may want you to hire him. The billionaire real estate mogul and host of television’s “The Apprentice” got a raucous reception Thursday when he dangled a potential candidacy before thousands of conservatives who descended on the nation’s capital eager to help a GOP challenger deny President Barack Obama a second term. “The United States is becoming the laughing stock of the world,” Trump said, sounding every bit a candidate as he offered his rationale for a possible bid. In a speech sprinkled with quips and jabs, he said he would decide by June whether to run. “The Donald” was among nearly a dozen potential presidential candidates, in various stages and sincerity of considering a 2012 run, auditioning before 11,000 conservatives at the Conservative Political Action Conference.
Death toll from natural gas blast at 5 in Pennsylvania ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) — A natural gas explosion rocked a downtown neighborhood overnight, killing five people, leveling two houses and spawning fires that burned for hours through an entire row of neighboring homes. Lehigh County Coroner Scott Grim said Thursday that all but one body had been recovered from the debris. The victims ranged in age from 4 months to 79 years old, fire Chief Robert Scheirer said. A couple in their 70s lived in a twostory row house that blew up about 10:45 p.m. Wednesday, police Chief Roger MacClean said. Scheirer said 47 buildings were damaged, and eight were expected to be total losses.
Google, Facebook may have eyes on Twitter; value could reach $10 billion NEW YORK (AP) — Google Inc. and Facebook Inc. have both held low-level talks with Twitter Inc. about purchasing the privately held social networking service, according to a published report. The talks have valued Twitter at $8 billion to $10 billion, The Wall Street Journal said, citing unnamed people familiar with the matter. The Journal said the company had 2010 revenue of $45 million but lost money as it hired and invested in data centers. Investors have shown keen interest in social networking
services in recent months. Last month, daily coupon website Groupon raised $950 million in financing after reportedly turning down Google’s offer to purchase it for $6 billion. Facebook, which is privately held, is also said to have received $500 million in new funding last month, including $450 million from wealthy Goldman Sachs clients living outside the U.S., and $50 million from a Russian investor. LinkedIn, a networking site geared toward professionals, filed to go public in an offering worth up to $175 million.
Judge grants Charlie Sheen’s divorce LOS ANGELES (AP) — Charlie Sheen can go back to being single, but he’ll have to wait a few months before it’s official, a judge ruled Thursday. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Hank Goldberg finalized Sheen’s divorce from his ex-wife Brooke Mueller Sheen, but the pair will not be legally single until May 2. The actor and Brooke Sheen filed dueling divorce
petitions in November, citing Christmas Day 2009 as the day of their breakup. Charlie Sheen was arrested in Aspen, Colo., that day on suspicion of domestic violence against his wife. He spent 30 days on probation. Charlie Sheen is to pay Brooke Sheen more than $750,000 and another $55,000 a month in child support, according to a prenuptial agreement filed with the court.
NY lawmaker quits after shirtless photo surfaces CLARENCE, N.Y. (AP) — Rep.

I have made profound mistakes and I promise to work as hard as I can to seek their forgiveness.” A woman described as a 34-year-old Maryland resident and government employee provided the Gawker website with e-mail exchanged with Lee.

PETERSBURG, Va. (AP) — National Park Rangers say they found a potentially live Civil War-era artillery shell in Petersburg, Va., and called in police to check it out. The shell was found Thursday at a home after rangers with a warrant searched it during a criminal investigation. The Petersburg Prog-

Civil War-vintage shells are often recovered in Virginia. Three years ago, a relic hunter was killed when a shell exploded in the driveway of his Chester home.

He continued: “I know, that’s a stereotype of the Irish, but nevertheless, we Jews from around the corner think this.” Explaining his comments the following morning, Bloomberg said: “I was talking about a party that they have every year on the, on St Patrick’s Day, when it sort of is traditional to hang out the window and yell and scream, and it’s in good fun, and I certainly didn’t mean anything that anybody should take offense to.” The mayor, who lives nearby, walks underneath the windows of the building when he marches in the city’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade. “It’s a great organization.

main sluggish, Connaughton said. Home ownership has fallen, decreasing property tax revenue. And state sales tax is levied on the wrong items, he said. Connaughton said he’s fought for years to reform the way North Carolina collects sales tax. “We have the strangest, dumbest sales tax system in North Carolina that could be invented by man,” he said. North Carolina taxes goods, not services. But consumers now spend twice as much on services as they do on manufactured items, he said. Connaughton recommended taxing services like those procured from bankers, accountants and lawyers but said lobbyists likely would prevent such a change. For the foreseeable future, all government — federal, state and local — will have to be smaller, Connaughton said. Nagging unemployment remains at the center of the problem. The nation lost 8.7 million jobs in the Great Recession, compared to 2.6 million in the 1982 recession. While some job growth has occurred, more than 2 million people in the construction and manufacturing industries remain out of work. Cities like Salisbury with a history of manufacturing know most of those jobs will not come back, Connaughton said. Apparent drops in unemployment actually reflect people who have given up looking for work, he said. A better gauge is how many new jobs have been created, and it’s not many, Connaughton said. So far, the recovery has generated 1 million jobs nationally, mostly in sectors that require a college degree. Four million blue collar workers with a high school diploma remain unemployed. “Those who have lost their jobs in this recession have a skill set that doesn’t really match where this economy is going into the future,” Connaughton said. North Carolina lost about 300,000 jobs during the recession, more than half in construction and manufacturing. Job growth also has been hampered by growth in production, he said. Companies can keep up with modest demand by increasing production rates instead of hiring new workers. Salisbury has to reinvent itself, Mayor Susan Kluttz said after Connaughton’s presentation. “His discouraging and pessimistic view was very realistic,” Kluttz said. “It was hard to hear, but it doesn’t surprise anybody.”
NEW YORK (AP) — Mayor Michael Bloomberg apologized Thursday for a comment he made about public drunkenness at an Irish-American organization event and said he’d been referring to a yearly party the group throws to celebrate the St. Patrick’s Day Parade. “I apologize, I certainly did not mean to offend anybody,” he said in a statement Thursday after his words the evening before at a book launch event at the American Irish Historical Society’s Manhattan headquarters raised some eyebrows. “Normally when I walk by this building, there are a bunch of people that are totally inebriated hanging out the window waving,” Bloomberg had said Wednesday to laughter
Dr. John Connaughton, who directs the UNC Charlotte Economic Forecast, offered these details: • While people often blame offshoring for job loss in the manufacturing industry, more of those jobs are lost to robots than to India, Connaughton said. The United States is still a manufacturing powerhouse, he said. “We are not manufacturing less,” he said. “We are using fewer people to do it.” • Connaughton discussed what he termed a “new normal” for consumers. Even people who didn’t lose their job or house in the recession are cutting back — driving their cars longer, shopping at discount instead of department stores and lowering their expectations about how much stuff they need, he said. • While inflation remains low, that won’t last, Connaughton warned. “We all know it’s around the corner and going to bite us big very soon,” he said. Longterm interest rates also are headed up, and Connaughton predicted consumers have a threeto four-month window to obtain 0 percent financing on car loans. • While positive economic indicators remain flat, negative indicators like the national debt, consumer confidence and excessive cash reserves held by banks all loom, Connaughton said. “The negative indicators are really scary,” he said. • Connaughton apologized after his presentation but said he had a responsibility to deliver the bad news. “This is where we earn our stripes as members of the dismal science,” the economist said.

DALE EARNHARDT JR.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Two of NASCAR’s most successful drivers dominated the discussion on the first day of Speedweeks. Seven-time Cup Series champion Dale Earnhardt and fivetime defending champ Jimmie Johnson were the main topics at Daytona 500 Media Day on Thursday. For different reasons, of course. Earnhardt died a decade ago on the final lap of the Daytona 500, and fellow drivers reminisced on the upcoming, 10-year anniversary of that race, as well
as the significant safety changes that followed. “It’s meaningful to me because of Dale and his fans,” said Michael Waltrip, who won the 2001 Daytona 500 driving for Dale Earnhardt Inc. “That race was a quarter of a mile away from maybe being the best Daytona 500 ever. It was an amazing race. It had everything: An upset winner, Dale battling those guys. It was just an amazing race. “Instead, it’s the worst race ever. You won’t ever see that race in the greatest races in Daytona history. It’s the worst. I live with that. I’m the winner of that race. I’m not here to celebrate
that. I’m here to honor Dale.” Waltrip wasn’t alone. Bobby Labonte, Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and several others told stories about their relationships with the driver nicknamed The Intimidator. Kevin Harvick talked about landing the dubious task of taking over Earnhardt’s ride at Richard Childress Racing and then finally learning to embrace it.

Heels gain in defeat
Falcons on a roll
BY CAULTON TUDOR Raleigh News & Observer
DURHAM — North Carolina took two overriding concerns — inexperience and toughness — into Cameron Indoor Stadium for Wednesday night’s test against Duke. The Tar Heels arrived with three freshmen plus a sophomore, wingman Leslie McDonald, who was injured WILLIAMS and sat out Duke’s 8250 rout at the end of the regular season last March. But that youth was only one reason Duke was favored by 10 points Wednesday. Perhaps of more importance in the handicapping was the residue of that 32point Duke rout. It was a timid, lifeless, lingering performance that the North Carolina players wanted to forget but one that their coach, Roy Williams, couldn’t afford to discard. “We’ve got to be a tougher team and prove we’re tougher,” Williams said during the week’s lead up to Wednesday. The Tar Heels are tough enough. They established that much about three minutes into the game and the experience of junior Tyler Zeller and sophomore John Henson more than offset any rookie jitters. Duke (22-2 overall, 9-1 ACC) rallied for a 79-73 win, but North Carolina (17-6, 72) got out of the Cameron sweatshop with a shot of confidence. “We did some nice things, but I’m not big on moral victories,” Williams said. “In the second half, they were more aggressive. They attacked us.” Like almost any other team in the nation, the Heels didn’t have a defensive solution for Duke senior guard Nolan Smith, whose 34 points probably ended any debate about the ACC player of the year race. And when wing marksman Seth Curry came off the bench to mix in another 22, the Blue Devils finally were able to win on the perimeter. But this is one loss to

West ruins its second Senior Night in two days BY RYAN BISESI rbisesi@salisburypost.com

West Rowan’s Jarvis Morgan soars to the hoops against South Rowan.
LANDIS — 14-0 leads aren’t unW. Rowan 73 c o m m o n the S. Rowan 64 for W e s t Rowan football team. The basketball team experienced one on Thursday, and like on the gridiron, it makes winning a lot easier. The Falcons scored the first 14 points and held South Rowan without a field goal for the opening 6:18 in a 73-64 triumph that crushed South’s Senior Night-induced dreams of an upset. A Herculean effort from South rallied the Raiders back within six with two minutes to play, but West got big buckets from Keshun and B.J. Sherrill, who were cousins in clutch. “You couldn’t ask for a better start,” West coach Mike Gurley said. “Thank goodness we had it because in the third quarter, when their guys got going, they got a lot more intense.” South, always one to make games interesting, had its comeback effort take a blow after Josh Medlin fouled out with 3:52 remaining. However, Matt Miller hit a 3 to pull
the Raiders within 66-60 with 2:10 left and rejuvenate the home crowd. Keshun Sherrill strutted down the lane and hit a layup on the next possession and B.J. Sherrill converted a deuce with 1:01 left to keep South at bay. The Falcons spoiled Senior Night for the second night in a row after beating North Iredell on Wednesday and the the sweep of South gave them a third straight win. With the NPC tournament next week and the state playoffs looming, West (12-10, 10-2 NPC) hopes to be peaking at the right time having won seven of its last eight. “I feel good overall,” Gurley said. “We finished 10-2 in the conference and we’ve got the conference tournament in front of us.” As the runnerup in the conference, West will host East Rowan on Monday at 7:30 p.m. while South, seeded sixth, will travel to No. 3 West Iredell. A trey from B.J. Sherrill opened the game and four possessions later, a scoop from Morgan made it 9-0 and forced South coach John Davis to use an early timeout

Dixon, Avery star for West BY RYAN BISESI rbisesi@salisburypost.com
LANDIS — West Rowan’s 76-54 defeat of South Rowan looked pretty routine, W. Rowan 76 but West freshman Nycieko S. Rowan 54 Dixon suggests there may have been some supernatural activity going on. “Me and Ayanna (Avery) can read each other’s eyes, basically,” said Dixon after scoring a season-best 25 points. “It’s like telepathy or some kind of stuff like that.” Well, she may have had a point as Dixon and Avery were out-of-this-world with a combined 51 points for the Falcons, who clinched third place in the 3A North Piedmont Conference. Avery, who became the school’s all-time leading scorer last week, notched a game-high 26. West will host West Iredell Monday in the opening round of the NPC Tournament. The Falcons’ win prevented what would have been a tie for third with the Raiders. Although the playoffs don’t begin for two weeks, West coach Erich Epps
dressed approtiately for the county rivalry, debuting the playoff attire early. “I’m in the playoff mode,” Epps quipped. “The girls said ‘Why are you so dressed up?’ I said ‘It’s playoff time.” West led 19-13 after one quarter and South’s Krista Swartz’s jumper made it 21-17. Dixon drained a trey and the Falcons went on a 18-6 run to end the half and made seven straight field goals on the spurt. Shay Steele, who finished with 19 points, got consecutive baskets to make the lead double digits at 29-19 and South never cut it under 10 afterwards. “Dixon played just incredible basketball tonight,” Epps said. “She was focused, hitting her shots, making good decisions. It was Ayana and Shay early and Dixon late.” West led 39-23 at the break and the lead ballooned to 60-37 at the end of the third. Steele had 15 first-half points and Avery 17. South senior Nicole Barringer played her last home game and scored 24 to lead her team. tyler buckwell/SALISBURY POST

West Rowan guard Keshun Sherrill (1), one of the stars of West Rowan’s victory Thursday night, gets down low to play some tough defense.
WEST BOYS FROM 1B to calm his rattled troops. They couldn’t stop the bleeding, as the West machine kept grinding on a Dominique Noble’s fast-break jam on the next possession. “Getting out to a big lead like that in a rivarly game feels good,” Morgan said. “We’ve still got things to do to get better, but this is a time for us to start peaking at the end of the season.” South (6-16, 3-9 NPC) finally got on the board on a 3 from Qua Neal with 2:42 left in the first. Keshun Sherrill came back down and drained a 3 as West held a 20-5 lead after a first quarter that included several baskets in transistion for a dashing Falcon offense. The Raiders couldn’t retain their momentum after a spirited victory at East Rowan on Wednesday. South jumped out to a 9-0 against East, but were on the opposite side of a quick start in its last home game. “I think we went out there with Senioritis,” Davis joked. “We just didn’t come to play basketball. West got easy

Mike Gurley shares a laugh with assistants Ken Clarke and Willie Ellis. baskets early in transistion. It put presure on us to get back.” West obtained its biggest lead at 33-12 and lead 40-23 at the half. South’s slicing of the deficit was gradual, pulling to within 53-42 at the conclusion of the third. “When you’re down like that, you’ve
got to exert a lot of energy,” Davis said. “Coming off the game last night, you think they’ll be slower in transition and maybe the legs will be a little stiff.” Six second-half treys helped the Raiders get back in it. Two from beyond the arc came from Miller for all of his six points. Once again, Keshun Sherrill starred for West, coming through with 16 points as did Morgan. Noble scored 10. Johnathon Gaddy finished with 17 points for the Raiders. Mark McDaniel (14), Medlin (13) and Neal (12) also finished in double figures. “I knew a John Davis basketball team would keep playing,” Gurley said. “When you come down here, it ain’t going to be easy.

Allen breaks record Associated Press
The NBA roundup ... BOSTON — Ray Allen broke the NBA record for 3-pointers on Thursday night, sinking two in the first quarter against the Los Angeles Lakers as the man he passed, Reggie Miller, sat courtside working the TV broadcast. Allen hit his second 3 of the game with 1:48 left in the first quarter to reach 2,561 in his career — a number that flashed on the ALLEN scoreboard in green and white while the TD Garden erupted in applause. Kobe Bryant took no special pleasure in spoiling Ray Allen's record-setting night. Still, the Los Angeles Lakers sure enjoy ruining a Celtics celebration. "It's always fun to beat Boston," center Andrew Bynum said. Bryant scored 20 of his 23 points in the second half, leading the Lakers to a 92-86 victory in an NBA finals rematch. Suns 112, Warriors 88 PHOENIX — Three days after his 37th birthday, Steve Nash had 18 points and 11 assists, then sat out the fourth quarter on Thursday night and watched Phoenix complete a 112-88 rout of the Golden State Warriors, the Suns' most one-sided win this

Henson had 14 and 12, and Barnes nine and six. “They’re really good — an outstanding team. ... Henson’s as good a big man as there is in the country. He’s unique,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “They were just so fast early, but our big guys

MJ SUITS UP CHARLOTTE — Short on players for practice, the Charlotte Bobcats found an extra body in the front office: Michael Jordan. The Hall of Famer and Bobcats owner suited up for Thursday's workout, participating in a full-court scrimmage and showing a few of the old moves that helped make him a six-time NBA champion. "He's Mike. He's been kicking our (butts). He still has it," forward Gerald Wallace said. "He doesn't have this quickness, but he can score, he's a shooter. The last thing to ever go is your jump shot and he has that." Jordan, who turns 48 next week, has been spending more time at practices and shootarounds, getting on the floor and doing some teaching. Thursday's practice was his most involved yet. "He's holding these guys accountable and it's great. I love him out here," coach Paul Silas said.
RETIRED SALT LAKE CITY — After 23 seasons, Hall of Fame coach Jerry Sloan had only one bit of advice for successor Ty Corbin. "Be yourself," Sloan said Thursday after announcing he was stepping down after 1,127 wins the Jazz because he didn't have the energy. "Man it's gonna be crazy and weird seeing anyone besides Jerry Sloan walking the sidelines for the Utah Jazz!" LeBron James tweeted. "Jerry Sloan is the Utah Jazz. Wow."
played really well in the second half. “We grew up a lot tonight.” So did Carolina, which means the return match in Chapel Hill on March 5 no doubt will be another lulu. Williams was obviously down, but there has to be a chance he’ll eventually view this performance in a different light. There’s proof now that the Tar Heels have enough pop in the paint to stay with Duke or any other team they’ll have to deal with before the start of the NCAA tournament. “We made each other better teams tonight,” Krzyzewski said. It was a tough loss, but it wasn’t another loss of toughness for the Heels.

cam Newton throws for NFL scouts.
Newton shows his stuff Associated Press
The NFL notebook ... SAN DIEGO — Enjoying the San Diego sunshine and saying that he’s “shooting for greatness,” Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton gave the media a glimpse of the workouts he’s going through daily as he prepares for the NFL combine and draft. Wearing gray shorts, a black long-sleeve T-shirt and orange cleats, Newton did agility drills and then threw passes to a handful of receivers for nearly 45 minutes at a suburban high school on Thursday. Newton has been in San Diego since late January, working six days a week with quarterbacks coach George Whitfield Jr. and receiving advice from Hall of Fame quarterback Warren Moon. While his passes looked crisp, there’s a lot for Newton to work on. Chief among them is taking snaps from under center. He often took snaps in the shotgun formation as he ran the spread offense at Auburn, which he led to the BCS national title. He said he’s working on “the whole grand scheme of playing quarterback in the NFL. A lot of times I probably can count on one hand the times I took a snap from under center in one game. But now it depends what scheme you go into, but at the same time you have to be able to get a snap from under center and be fluent at it.” Asked if he was surprised some people don’t think his skills won’t translate to the NFL, he replied: “That’s the competitor that I am. I won’t be surprised — I’m making that leap right now — until I’m a Super Bowl champion. That’s what I’m going for from Day One, reaching for greatness. The supporting cast that I have is pushing me to be great, I’m pushing
myself to be great and I demand greatness for myself. So coming in the door, working out every single day, I’m shooting for greatness.” LAWSUIT DALLAS — A lawsuit has been filed accusing the NFL, the Dallas Cowboys and team owner Jerry Jones of deceiving hundreds of fans who bought Super Bowl tickets and had no seats, or who felt the seats were inadequate. The lawsuit alleges that Cowboys fans who paid $100,000 per seat just for the right to buy season tickets were never told that their Super Bowl seats would be temporary with obstructed views. The lawsuit says the team has offered no compensation for "illegitimate seats." NFL LABOR WASHINGTON — Negotiations to prevent an NFL lockout took a grim turn Thursday with the cancellation of the second day of a planned twoday bargaining session. "We wish we were negotiating today," NFL Players Association spokesman George Atallah said. "That's all I can say." GRAMMYS GREEN BAY, Wis. — So what does Green Bay Packers linebacker Clay Matthews have in common with Jennifer Lopez, Ryan Seacrest and Keith Urban? They'll all be presenters at the Grammy Awards on Sunday night. BRADFORD NORMAN, Okla. — Sam Bradford was eager to spend the next few months learning every nuance of the West Coast offense that helped him win the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. That changed when the St. Louis Rams hired new offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels last month. "Part of me is extremely excited to be working with Josh McDaniels," Bradford said.
Earnhardt’s death stirs emotions for Waltrip Associated Press
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Michael Waltrip knew the questions were coming and tried to gather his thoughts in advance so he’d be ready to answer. He even wrote about it in his book. Still, that didn’t stop Waltrip’s eyes from misting up when asked about the 10-year anniversary of Dale Earnhardt’s death. “About a year ago, I realized that when I came here this year, there was going to be a lot of questions about that day,” Waltrip said at Daytona 500 media day Thursday. “And I needed to figure out how to answer those questions, because quite honestly, any answers I’ve given up until I wrote this book were just on the surface, nothing that I would let get into my heart.” Waltrip’s book, “In the Blink of an Eye,” debuted on The New York Times best-seller list at No. 11. In it, he details his thoughts on the loss of his boss and friend, who died at Daytona in February 2001 as Waltrip was on his way to winning the race. That race should have been one of the happiest days. Instead, it was one of the worst. Waltrip cited his religious faith for helping him handle it, saying he believes everything happens for a reason. “If I didn’t, I think I’d probably be pretty mad about that day, because human beings aren’t designed to go through
that range of emotion that I was faced with,” Waltrip said. “So I like to think of the positives of that day, and that was the last thing Dale saw on this Earth was me and Dale Jr. driving off to win the Daytona 500.” Waltrip said he hadn’t even been able to watch a replay of the race until recently. “I saw that DVD a bunch of times over the last 10 years, and I just couldn’t put it in,” Waltrip said. “So for the first time ever, I put it in and started watching it.” • GOTTA BE THE SHOES: Denny Hamlin has signed an endorsement deal with Nike’s Jordan brand, and will sport the “jumpman” logo on his firesuit and gloves this season. But he says there’s no such thing as flame-retardant Air Jordans — not yet, anyway. “It’s a big deal for myself and really NASCAR,” Hamlin said. “The Jordan brand has never been in NASCAR before. It is a dream come true for me.” Hamlin has courtside seats for the NBA’s Charlotte Bobcats and got to know Jordan through the team. “Michael is a bigger motorsports fan than what people give him credit for,” Hamlin said. “He always talked to me last year about how the race went, because he watched the races. I never knew he really kept track of racing that much until I dug a little deeper and found he’s had his motorcycle (racing) team since 2004. He’s always been an avid motorsports fan. He just
PHILADELPHIA — Jeff Carter and Danny Briere each scored a power-play goal for Philadelphia, and Brian Boucher stopped 31 shots. The Flyers took advantage of Carolina's weak penalty-killing unit while improving to 13-3 in 2011. The Hurricanes were 23rd in the league against the power play entering Thursday's games, 25th on the road. Devils 2, Leafs 1, OT TORONTO — Ilya Kovalchuk scored at 4:36 of overtime and Devils coach Jacques Lemaire became eighth coach in NHL history to reach 600 wins in New Jersey's 2-1 victory over Toronto. Penguins 2, Kings 1, OT PITTSBURGH — Jordan Staal scored at 4:41 of overtime, leading Pittsburgh to the victory. Islanders 4, Canadiens 3, SO MONTREAL — Kyle Okposo scored on the Islanders' fourth shootout attempt and Mikko Koskinen got his first NHL win. Sabres 3, Panthers 2 SUNRISE, Fla. — Tyler Myers scored at 4:55 in overtime, lifting Buffalo to the victory.
GOLF PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Steve Marino and D.A. Points shared the lead Thursday in the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am despite having different scores in an entirely different atmosphere. Marino birdied his last two holes for a 7-under 65 at Spyglass Hill in a relatively quiet round except for the woman behind the ninth green who shrieked when his wedge stopped inside a foot from the hole. Points played at Monterey Peninsula before the largest crowds, mainly because that's where the celebrities played the opening round. Points, who had Bill Murray as his amateur partner, shot a 7-under 63.
Garden. No. 23 Vanderbilt 81, Alabama 77 NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Brad Tinsley hit an off-balance jumper with 17 seconds left and added the free throw as No. 23 Vanderbilt beat Southeastern Conference-leading Alabama 81-77 Thursday night. Vanderbilt (17-6, 5-4) has won the first two games of a three-game homestand with No. 18 Kentucky visiting Saturday to remain knotted with three others for second in the SEC's Eastern Division. FSU 72, Georgia Tech 63 ATLANTA — Chris Singleton scored 16 points, Michael Snaer had 15 and Florida States used an early 14-0 run to beat the Yellow Jackets 72-63.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL ORAL GABLES, Fla. — Former Michigan quarterback Tate Forcier has transferred to Miami. Forcier signed an aid agreement on Wednesday, making the transfer official. Under NCAA rules, he will not be eligible to play for the Hurricanes until 2012. Forcier completed 219 of 365 passes for 2,647 yards, with 17 touchdowns and 14 interceptions in 20 games for the Wolverines. He announced his intentions to transfer last month on Twitter, and was academically ineligible for Michigan's trip to the Gator Bowl.
BASEBALL ARLINGTON, Texas — Josh Hamilton walked through a gutted-out room under construction near the Texas Rangers clubhouse. The AL MVP had just agreed to a $24 million, two-year contract. "I was sweeping places out like this seven years ago or whatever," he said. "This goes for anybody. It's awesome to think about what God can do in your life if you allow him to. ... It's just amazing."

NEW YORK — If you're a top 10 team and you have plans on visiting New York, avoid Madison Square Garden. Dwight Hardy scored a career-high 33 points and St. John's took command in the second half in an 89-72 victory over No. 10 Connecticut on Thursday night, the Red Storm's fourth win over a top-13 team this season at the
SUNRISE, Fla. — The Florida Panthers are sending right wing Michael Frolik and goalie Alexander Salak to the Chicago Blackhawks for right wing Jack Skille and two prospects. The deal moves the 22year-old Frolik, Florida's second-leading scorer, to the defending Stanley Cup champions, who are in a fight to return to the postseason.

MICHAEL WALTRIP never knew the right situation to get into NASCAR, and he felt like I was the right representative for him.” • ROBBY’S DODGE DEAL: Robby Gordon’s team is switching to Dodge, a deal that could be a huge boost to the stability of the driver-owned, single-car team. “We haven’t had a factory program for two years,” Gordon said. • SPARK PLUGS: Wisconsin native Matt Kenseth might be known for his reserved demeanor, but he definitely broke character when he was sitting in his “lucky” chair and rooting for the Green Bay Packers in the Super Bowl. “I had a few friends come over and put themselves through that, to watch a Packer game with me,” Kenseth said. “I don’t know if it’s fun or not. It’s entertaining, because I yell a lot.” ... When it was suggested that NASCAR should one day return to racing on the beach in Daytona, Tony Stewart played along and suggested that all the drivers should wear Speedo-style bathing suits for the occasion. “Can you imagine if they caught fire?,” Stewart said. “Some of us are kind of hairy guys.”
better protect drivers at high speeds. “The past 10 years it’s come tenfold,” Labonte said. “I can look at race cars that I have in my shop from 10 years ago and I say, ‘I can’t believe I drove that.’ ... Unfortunately, things like (Earnhardt’s death) had to happen to make (safety improvements) happen.” Johnson made his Cup debut eight months after Earnhardt’s death, and it didn’t take very long for him to establish himself as one to watch. Now, he’s the one to beat. Johnson has won five consecutive titles with Hendrick Motorsports, an accomplishment that rivals any dynasty in American sports history. “Without a doubt, everybody is tired of us winning,” Johnson said. “That’s just how it is.” Harvick and Denny Hamlin nearly ended Johnson’s run last season, but Johnson edged out both in what was the tightest Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. Johnson won his fifth despite a May slump and an overhauled pit crew. “I don’t think you can count on him stumbling,” Harvick said. “That was a lot of the talk last year, that they were stumbling, and you get into the Chase and there they are.” Johnson is the preseason favorite to win another title in 2011, but he expects more challengers since Roush Fenway Racing made huge strides late last season. “If it all ended today, there’s no way I’d be disappointed,” Johnson said. “It’s been one hell of a run. So proud of the growth I’ve had as a driver, from motocross to off-road trucks to stock cars, there were a lot of years there where I was tearing stuff up and trying to find my way. With my opportunity at Hendrick, things smoothed out, and it’s been one heck of a ride.” NASCAR officials are hoping the same can be said of the 53rd running of the Daytona 500. The 2 1⁄2-mile super-

driver Kevin Harvick laughs on his way to the next media station, as Kyle Busch, right, talks to reporters. speedway got repaved for the first time since 1979, creating a surface that could create more pack racing during Speedweeks. “We’re not going to have holes in the track,” said two-time NASCAR champion Tony Stewart, referring to last year’s Daytona 500 pothole debacle. “That’s a pretty good improvement over last year.” NASCAR changes, which include tweaking the points system and modifying rules for making the Chase, also were hot topics Thursday. Sprint Cup rookie Trevor Bayne got some attention when he announced he hopes to be in the top 15 in points. “That might be setting the bar a little high here at first, and that may set us up for failure,” Bayne said. “But I want to have high goals so I can get to them and not be satisfied if we run 25th. I always want to be pushing for more.” IndyCar star Danica Patrick has similar goals in her second, part-time NASCAR season. Patrick will drive 12 Nationwide Series races and is looking to improve on her best showing, a 19thplace finish in the season finale at Homestead. “I’m lucky that people care about my story and that they want to read about it or hear about it, and that you all write about it,” Patrick said. “I want to do well. I want people to believe in me as a driver.”

Friday, Feb. 11 A relationship with someone with whom you formerly had a strong attachment could blossom once again in the year ahead. If you’ve both grown, the association has a chance to develop. If you haven’t, nothing will change. Move on with your life. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — If you want anybody, but especially those in your household to do your bidding, you first have to set an example worthy of emulation. If you haven’t given, you won’t get. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Yielding to self-doubts will get you no place. Ignore all thoughts about “what if?” and concentrate only on “I can.” If you don’t have faith in yourself, you’ll quit before you even begin. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Engaging in activities that could either help or hurt your material well-being should not be taken lightly. Give money matters all the time and attention they need. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — It might take all the elbow grease you can muster to complete a task you thought would be a snap to do. However, if you’re prepared to work a bit harder than expected, you’ll succeed. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Unless you are open-minded about what others have to say, you could find yourself being offended by something a companion says where you know no ill will was intended. Lighten up. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Usually you can take in stride the behavior of your friends, because you know everybody is human, but any hint of selfishness or rudeness might greatly offend you. Be more forgiving. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — You could find yourself in the position of being able to block an ambitious objective of another who recently treated you poorly. You won’t be sorry if you make an ally instead of an enemy. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You’re heard it many times before, “If you can’t find something nice to say about someone, don’t say anything.” If you want to make friends, not enemies, keep critical comments to yourself. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — The efficacy of an endeavor you share with another could be very “iffy” if you and your cohort attempt to do something where you both lack the knowhow. Get someone who has done it before. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Follow through on any commitment you make, but especially one you have with your spouse. You might get away with it with letting a friend down, but not with your one-and-only. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Although you have a tendency to rush into things at times, you need to be methodical when working on a critical assignment. Know what you need to do before proceeding. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — All wasteful spending will do for you is harvest seeds of regret in the near future. If you want something to show for your efforts, guard against inclinations to be extravagant. Know where to look for romance and you’ll find it.

Doug Larson, a newspaper columnist, said, “What some people mistake for the high cost of living is really the cost of high living.” In this deal, there is a high cost for not playing high at the right moment. How should the play and defense proceed in three no-trump after West leads the heart king? What do you think of North’s raise to three no-trump? I like North’s bid. If his suit generates six tricks, three no-trump is likely to make. If, however, the suit proves useless, South will probably struggle to take even seven tricks. Of the alternative responses, two no-trump is the one not to make. When you have a long suit and know

by congratulating you on your medical education. I constantly tell my readers that they need to remain informed. They can’t simply sit back and take a physician’s word for something. You appear at the top of your game, and I commend you for being in control and so knowledgeable. While your current problem began around Christmas, I strongly doubt you indulged in goodies that may have been at your disposal so I will bypass that possibility. However, could you have modified your exercise program, do you eat dinner later in the evening, or have you had any dietary changes that you might not have considered relevant? This product is fast acting. Are you eating within five to 10 minutes of an injection? As with all insulin, the duration of action of this medication varies according to the dose, site of injection, blood flow, activity levels and more. Could any of these conditions have been modified? Perhaps you are administering it in your thigh or upper arm as a change, when you previously used your abdomen. I’m not making light of this, but you seem to be so well-informed that I’m attempting to think outside the box for an explanation. Because meters vary, I recommend that you make an appointment with your endocrinologist for a check on a regular basis. Bring your unit with you, and test it against the one in your doctor’s office immediately following his or her test. Are

tricks: two spades, one heart, two diamonds and one club. He hopes to get the extra tricks from dummy’s diamond suit, planning to duck the first round to East. South holds up his heart ace until the third round of the suit, then leads a low diamond to dummy’s 10. East wins with his jack and shifts to a low club, but South takes his ace and runs dummy’s diamonds to take nine tricks: two spades, one heart, five diamonds and one club. At least, that is South’s plan. But West can thwart it by playing his diamond queen when declarer leads the suit at trick four. Now South has no chance. If he lets West win the trick, West cashes two heart winners for down one. And if South takes the fourth trick in the dummy, he can no longer establish and run the diamond suit.

Dear Dr. Gott: I am a 13year-old diabetic. I have good control of my diabetes, but right around Christmas, I began having unreasonably high blood-sugar readings and I’m still having them now. The lowest sugar I have had since is 140, and the highest is 281. I am not sick. I have no fever and I am not vomiting. I do not have a cough. I have checked my ketones mulDR. PETER tiple times, and they GOTT were all negative. My insulin is not expired. I even did a control test on my meter, and it came out to 101. I asked my parents, and they believe it’s the meter. It is about 1 1⁄2 years old. A while ago, another one of my meters did something like this. It would give me readings in the 20s and 30s when I was completely fine. But the control test on that one said it was normal, too. My dad recently ordered a new meter, but what is your opinion on what could be causing these highs? Normally, I rarely have a sugar over 200, but now it’s every day. I want to fix my sugars! In case this helps, my meter is the FreeStyle Lite and my insulin is Novolog. I also have had asthma, but it is mild and I never use an inhaler. I think I outgrew it.

WEATHER UNDERGROUND’S NATIONAL WEATHER Less active weather conditions are anticipated across most of the nation on Friday. The Arctic ridge of high pressure that brought extremely cold conditions to the Central and Eastern US will weaken. As this ridge flattens out, the wind patterns will change to a more westerly orientation. Temperatures will return to seasonable as this cuts off the flow from Canada, but the atmosphere remains dry so precipitation is not likely. Over the Great Lakes, however, a weak trough of low pressure that skirts across the US and Canadian border will allow for more lake effect snow showers to develop along the downwind shores. Periods of heavy and wet snowfall are likely across western Michigan and the Upper Peninsula, northwestern Pennsylvania, as well as western New York. Meanwhile, in the South, a cold front slowly moves southeastward from the Gulf of Mexico, but lingers over the southern tip of Florida. This will trigger more scattered rain showers with rainfall totals ranging around an inch. Out West, a ridge of high pressure dominates over the West Coast and allows for more sunny and dry conditions. A strong low pressure system spinning in the Gulf of Alaska pushes a front toward British Colombia and the Pacific Northwest, bringing increasingly cloudy skies, but does not yet kick up any rain showers.
