College has history of producing leaders BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com
S
ince its inception in 1879, Livingstone College has been committed to providing a
quality education through a Christian-based environment. The school has also been a
leader in the community, reaching out to students from all racial and social backgrounds, as well as a firm foundation for the African Methodist Episcopal Church.
Community ties Livingstone president Dr. Jimmy Jenkins Sr. said the college will continue to be involved in the overall economic development of Salisbury. “We see the college as a very critical and important corporate citizen of this community with an economic impact of nearly $100 million,” he said. “We believe we are a cornerstone that needs to be nourished.” Jenkins said as enrollment continues to grow the college is starting to make plans to construct new buildings for the first time in
nearly 30 years. “We see us becoming more and more as a reservoir for our community and for the city,” he said. Salisbury Mayor Susan Kluttz said Livingstone is an integral part of Salisbury’s history. “When you look at the history of the college and when you ride by and see how beautifully it’s been restored, it’s amazing,” she said. JENKINS Livingstone’s campus is housed on 272 acres consisting of 21 brick buildings, with seven campus structures listed on the National Register of Historic Places. “But more than the building, it’s the people,” Kluttz said. Kluttz said she is impressed by the caliber of gradates who have gone on to become leaders in the community. Alumnus Pete Kennedy works with Kluttz on the Salisbury City Council, and alumni Jean Kennedy and Kay Wright Norman serve on the Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education. “I’m always amazed by the types of leaders that Livingstone

The president of Livingstone College said if students have a will to learn, together they’ll find a way. “I think the word is getting out .... we tell people if you want to go to college and you want to graduate then you need to consider coming to Livingstone because our focus is to get you to graduate,” Dr. Jimmy Jenkins Sr. said. Jenkins said with 95 percent of Livingstone’s students qualifying for federal financial aid and 71 percent being first-generation college students, he recognized a need for a unique approach. “Socioeconomics still dictate how one is able to interact in our culture and in our society it is important to note that there is a direct correlation between education and socioeconomics. Enter the Holistic College. Upon his arrival at Livingstone
in 2006, Jenkins developed a Holistic College, designed to educate the “whole person.” “We teach them, as they say, the three Rs, reading, writing and ’rithmetic, but we also deal with a lot of other social skills,” he said. “We have created a very structured environment designed to get at CALLAHAN some of those skills.” Dr. Gary Callahan, dean of the Holistic College, said the approach is focused on getting students to be more conscious. “Although they are here for academics, there are a lot of things in life that are going to affect them,” he said. “We are trying to put them

An investor whose group recently paid $6.7 million for 330 acres along Interstate 85 in southern Rowan County says developing the land for commercial use still hinges on a new interchange at Old Beatty Ford Road. And although federal highway planners said several months ago a new interchange is not warranted there, local and state government officials say they are doing all they can to have one included in that area when the state eventually widens the interstate, whether it’s at Old Beatty Ford or a new location that will access the land more directly. They hope to demonstrate the need for an interchange with a land-use plan for the property and the surrounding area, Kannapolis City Manager Mike Legg said. But with any development still years away, Kannapolis is also asking the General Assembly for an extension of its September deadline to annex the land, Legg said. “I don’t think anything is LEGG going to be resolved by September in this economic environment,” Legg said. “This will give us a couple more years to see if it’s a viable project or not.” That means multiple governments will need to be involved in land-use planning for the area around the 330 acres and determining the effects of its ultimate use on surrounding roads, he said, including Rowan County, Landis and China Grove. Gary Morton, who owns the Stag ‘n Doe restaurant in China Grove, was a member of GDRM Gateway, a partnership that paid a combined $5.4 million in several transactions for the land in 2008 and asked Kannapolis to annex it. He’s also a member of High Bridge, a partnership that bought the land in January. Morton is the only member of the limited liability corporation listed in documents filed at the N.C. Secretary of State’s office, and he wouldn’t name the others in an interview with the Post. He said there are “five or six” members and a couple are from Charlotte. And he said while the partners believe an interchange in the area of I-85 and Old Beatty Ford Road is a real possibility when the highway is widened, they realize that project is several years in the future, and they’re prepared to wait. “The new group is basically a real estate investment group that understands the potential of a possible intersection there at I-85,” Morton said last week. “The new group will be able to be more patient with the land holding, but it was a normal transaction.” Along with Morton, members of the previous ownership group were Randall Patterson, Douglas Patterson and Marcella Morton. They asked Kannapolis to annex the land, which required legislative approval since it is closer to Landis. They proposed it as home to commercial development. Morton said the focus is on distribution and manufacturing businesses related to the N.C. Research Campus in Kannapolis and, with a mile of frontage on the interstate, potentially some retail, which he said would not only create jobs, but help keep sales tax revenue in Rowan that now leaks into Cabarrus. “There’s a lot of uses there,” he said. “It’s a long stretch of I-85 that doesn’t have an exit ramp.” The land is between exits at Lane Street to the south and N.C. 152 to the north, a distance of about 5 miles. And after the state completes projects to widen the interstate in Rowan, Cabarrus and Davidson counties and replace the Yadkin River Bridge, Legg said, it will be part of the last section of I-85 in the state with only two lanes in each direction. The Cabarrus Rowan Metropolitan Planning Organization, which recommends STEEN transportation projects to the state, has made rectifying that its top priority, and has included a new Old Beatty Ford Road interchange in that recommendation. Rep. Fred Steen, who represents southern Rowan in the N.C. House, said he and other legislators are telling state and federal transportation officials it just makes sense to study that possibility while the agency is performing assessments for highway widening. “Hopefully, they’ll do some assessments while they’ve got boots on the ground and save

YESTERDAY: MLK tragedy This photograph from the Salisbury Post files shows the scene on the steps of the Rowan County Courthouse April 5, 1968, the day after the assassination of national civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. in Memphis, Tenn. A newspaper account said about 700 Livingstone College students sang King’s favorite spiritual, “Precious Lord,” on the courthouse steps, and they were part of “an organized, slow-moving and peaceful march from the Livingstone campus to downtown area.” Some of the participants carried signs pleading for peace and justice or carrying slogans familiar to King and the civil rights movement. A Livingstone professor, the Rev. Robert Clayton, told the courthouse crowd, “We are not here to riot, but to proclaim our belief in the ideals of Martin Luther King. We will not throw bricks, but we will throw ballots.” He urged widespread voter registration efforts in King’s name. The march to the courthouse was planned during a morning chapel service at the college. Student body president George Miller and Dean of Students Edgar French led the march, which had a police escort.
Set realistic goals in trying to improve health The Great Backyard Q: I get so discouraged when I fail once more in eating healthy and exercising that I really put myself down and stop it all to start it all over again. What can I do? A: Many times we are our own worst enemy. Throw in unreachable goals and many will set themselves up for failure. Negativity is like a virus. You fail in reaching your goal and it inidisaptially points you. You start to look back in what you did wrong and ESTER continue to beat MARSH yourself up for any wrong doing you found. You remember that cookie you ate, or the workout you missed. You continue to put yourself down and the “virus” has spread. The virus is pushing you “off the wagon.” Not exercising, not eating healthy is making you more depressed and eventually you pull yourself back out to do it all over again. But why are we doing this to ourselves? Society can be part of it. Your doctor’s scale didn’t help either, but mostly it is the goals we set for ourselves. Too high, too soon. How long did it take to get un-
fit and unhealthy? Not overnight right? It is so hard to “do it right”. Questions pop up such as, “If I just had my own personal trainer,” or “If I had my own gym, I know I would work out regularly.” But look at Oprah. She has it all and she has struggled with her weight most of her life. That is how difficult it is. But you do have to take responsibility for your own actions. If you have a hard time resisting junk food when you are at home, why do you buy it in the first place? If you are not a morning person but feel you need to start working out before you go to work, your chances of sticking with it are slim. When you come from not doing anything and start expecting to work out five, six or even seven days a week, again, your goal is too high. Something is going to have to give when you start putting that kind of time into your workout schedule that quickly. Take baby steps. It is better to exercise three times a week for one hour the rest of your life than five to seven days per week for a couple of months, take off three to try it all over again. Some tips to hopefully help you to become successful and
stop putting yourself down; • Stop buying bad foods you can’t resist. • Plan your workouts so that you can work it in your schedule. When it goes well for a month see if you can add more. • Set little goals, such as losing 5 pounds instead of 50. When you reach it, go for another 5 and so on. Or start with half a mile run and work up to one mile. • Reward yourself when certain goals are reached. Maybe a new workout outfit or bathing suit. • When falling off the wagon, climb back on. There will be days, sometimes weeks, when everything is just not working in your favor. And, yes, five minutes will make a difference. Especially keeping it going in your schedule. Before you know it you will be up to your normal time. • When going out to eat, check calories and fat contents. Prepare yourself to eat the better, choosing foods with less fat and fewer calories food. • Most of all, stop putting yourselves down! Chin up, I know you can do it with the right planning and tools! Good luck and happy Valentine! Ester Marsh ACM Cpt
Bird Count is on
CHARLOTTE — Little scientists are needed to join a nationwide Citizen Science bird counting effort right in Charlotte’s very own backyard. Join the Charlotte Nature Museum’s Great Backyard Bird Count event from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. on Saturday. The Great Backyard Bird Count is part of a national study project at Cornell University. This annual event engages bird-watchers nationwide to count birds and tally the species observed in order to investigate trends in bird populations, migrations habitats and more. The event at Charlotte Nature Museum on Feb. 19 helps to identify bird species migrating or overwintering in Charlotte. Data collected will be added to a national bird count database. Local birding expert Rob Bierregaard, conservation biologist, will lead tours to spot winged wonders which may include the Northern cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis), Downy woodpecker (Picoides pubescens), and black-capped chickadee (Poecile atricapillus). The data collected by local watchers helps scientists create a bigger picture of where and how birds winter in the United States. Charlotte Nature Museum is located at 1658 Sterling Road, Charlotte. To find out more about this event call the museum at 704-3726261, visit www.discoveryplace.org.

Tony Award winner Daryl Waters admits he barely graduated from high school. “There was way too much time spent on music, way too little on academics,” he said in an e-mail to the Post. So, when Livingstone College’s marching band director, Henry Duncombe, Jr., offered him a scholarship after graduating from Shaw High School in East Cleveland, Ohio .he decided to take the deal. “I figured I’d stay a year, pull my grades up, then transfer to a music conservatory,” he said. “Next thing I knew, four years at Livingstone had flown by and I was graduating with honors.” Waters still remembers his first brush with fame, when he produced Livingstone’s student talent show called “Star Time Revue.” “We had loads of incredible vocalists singing all kinds of music, a comedian, and even a hula hoop dancer using hoops that were on fire,” he said. “I was a star on campus for the next week for making it all happen so smoothly and pro-

Livingstone has borne an excellent reputation in our midst. The students are orderly and polite and the community in which the college is located is made up of peaceable and respectable citizens. In fact, such is the reputation of the college that some of our most wealthy and progressive citizens are building costly residences in the neighborhood of the college. This speaks well for the management and reflects credit upon the training growth there.

Livingstone’s HBCU status a point of pride BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com
Salisbury Mayor Susan Kluttz says Livingstone College is an important part of the city’s history. “I am very proud to have a Historically Black College in this city,” she said. “I think that’s something that really enriches us a city and our quality of life here.” Students at Livingstone say attending a Historically Black College is meaningful for them. Senior music major Sir Davis said the fact that Livingstone is nestled in Salisbury makes it unique. “A lot of other Historically Black Colleges and Universities are in cities that are a bit more urban,” he said. “It’s significant in that it’s an advantage to have a Historically Black College here because we get to learn about our heritage even though the town we are in isn’t as diverse.” The Rev. Willie E. Givens Jr., a senior religious studies and psychology major, said Livingstone is a beacon of hope to minority students. “It really gives proof that African-Americans can excel and defy stereotypes,” he said. Kluttz said she is grateful for
the caliber of students who graduate from Livingstone and go on to become leaders in the community. “I’m always amazed the type of leaders that Livingstone produces who contribute all over the country and the world,” she said. The Rev. Vivian Williams, a senior history and religious studies major, said there is a sense of pride in belonging to a Historically Black College. “It allows for a place of reference and record keeping of our heritage,” she said. “There are a lot of historical buildings here so the community of Salisbury has a jewel right here in the middle of the city.” Williams said her own experience at Livingstone has allowed her to live her dream. “I was never a good student the first time around, but I’m on the Honor Society now,” she said. “Livingstone has brought a lot out of me.” And, Williams said, Livingstone isn’t just a good college for African Americans. “It’s a great resource that anyone can tap into, it doesn’t matter the color of your skin,” she said.

Students reveal why they chose Livingstone College Why I chose Livingstone: “The first time around I went to Mars Hill College, which is a predominantly white college. This time I wanted to experience what it would be like to be among my own people.” — The Rev. Willie E. Givens, Jr., 44, religious studies and psychology major
“I wanted to come here because this is such a historical school and the foundation of the church began here. It’s heartwarming to stand on the shoulders of those who have come before.”
“I was urged by my episcopal father, Bishop George W.C. Waker Sr., chairman of the board of trustees, to attend Livingstone. He’s big on education and wanted his ministers to be educated on how to serve the people.”
— The Rev. Kirby Woodard, 44, business and adminstration major

“I came here because it’s smaller. I really like the fact that I’m a name and not a number. — Jamie Chatman, 24, business and adminstration major
ECU fraternity suspended after alcohol arrests GREENVILLE (AP) — East Carolina University has suspended a fraternity after two people were arrested and more than 60 were cited for alcohol violations. Pi Kappa Phi fraternity spokesman Christian Wiggins told The Daily Reflector of Greenville on Friday that the national organization based in Charlotte will investigate the case. The arrests stemmed from a Feb. 5 search by Alcohol Law Enforcement Division agents who seized alcohol, mar-
ijuana, drug paraphernalia and a poster encouraging members to drink to excess. Members of the fraternity on campus would not speak to the newspaper. Wiggins says the East Carolina chapter has about 30 members and has never been in trouble before.
Cold snap hurts winter vegetables in Pee Dee SCRANTON, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina’s spate of cold temperatures has taken its toll on winter vegetables.
“Going to a Historically Black College there are still a lot of people from different backgrounds. And, you really get the oneone-one help you need.” — Lakia Warthaw, 22, English major The Morning News of Florence reported Sunday that cabbage and collard crops have been hit especially hard. For Scranton farmer Stan McKenzie, it means a loss of his mainstay winter crops that help him pay the bills. McKenzie says severe cold temperatures in December and January killed half his collards and all of his cabbage. McKenzie says he’s not the only one to see losses and people will see the difference at the market. A 50-pound case of cabbage usually sells for $8-12. But he says this year, it’s selling for about twice that.

Property values on Council’s agenda
Forgetfulness leads to license-plate woes
BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com
Rowan County Tax Assessor Jerry Rowland will discuss the impact of property revaluation with the Salisbury City Council at 4 p.m. Tuesday in City Hall. The city faces a $2.7 million budget shortfall for the fiscal year that starts in July. A revaluation by the county could make the budget gap even bigger, and council members at their planning retreat discussed asking county commissioners to delay the revaluation. Also Tuesday, Council will consider approving development of a 15,287-square-foot, 14-bed hospice facility at 1229 Statesville Blvd. Rowan Regional Medical Center will ask Council to rezone about six acres by amending an existing conditional district overlay to permit the hospice house. Some 90 people turned out in support of the project when Salisbury Planning Board unanimously approved it last month. Council will hold a public hearing on the issue. Also on Tuesday, Council will: • Hear a request from Jake Alexander and A&H Investments Inc. to rezone about .86 acre at 825 E. Liberty St. from Urban Residential to Corridor Mixed-Use, including a public hearing. • Hear a request from Penny and Terry Sides to rezone .5 acre at 601 Faith Road from Urban Residential to Residential Mixed-Use, including a public hearing. • Hold a public hearing regarding the use of 2011-2012 Community Development Block Grant and HOME Funds. • Receive public comment.

ot too very long ago, it occurred to me to open the glove compartment of my car and check the expiration date of my registration. Not having kept up with the particular month of its expiring, I was at least aware of the season. That sudden inspiration to check the date, not being the result of long-term planning, being more in the nature of the “acute” than that of the “chronic,” is probably some evidence of adult ADD. I discovered on the date of my looking in late December, that my registration had expired on the last MACK day of November. I went WILLIAMS immediately to the Virginia DMV’s office, where due to their efficiency of operation, my state of “wrongness” was “righted” in only about 20 minutes. I received two decals, both consisting solely of the number 11. Approaching the rear of my car, I thought to myself: “My registration expired in November, so the state of Virginia must now be using the numerical equivalents of the months instead of letter abbreviations, so I peeled off the paper backings and placed one of the 11s over the Nov. in the upper lefthand corner of the license plate and the other 11 over the number 10, which represented the year that would shortly be gone. I then proceeded to the local service station where I usually purchase my gas in order to have them perform my inspection. I hoped that by being a regular customer and by giving them my additional patronage in this manner (sucking up), they might possibly inspect my old ‘92 Chevy Lumina with a certain amount of leniency. The only thing that worried me was the brakes. Being a baby boomer born in 1951, I remembered the “Flintstones” in its original prime-time viewing slot, but had still been able to bring my car to a halt without having to resort to the Fred Flintstone method. Fred’s method of applying his brakes always comes to mind when I hear the song “Rubber Meets the Road,” only in Fred’s case, it was the “tread” of his bare feet. After waiting in the service station’s office for a while, the gentleman doing the inspecting came in and told me that three of the lights were out (good thing that I hadn’t been doing much night driving!). Evidently he hadn’t had to resort to the Flintstone method in the working of my brakes, so they must have passed the inspection. He then looked through a nearby cabinet, examining thoroughly his cache of stocked bulbs, and the longer he looked, the more I felt that the news might not be good as far as my speedy legal restoration to the world of driving was concerned.
N
He informed me that he was out of my car’s particular type of bulb, but that he would call across town to an auto supply store and the bulbs would be delivered shortly. Being seated closeby when he made his call, I heard him say, “Do you have bulbs for a Chevy Lumina from back in the day?” I thought to myself that someday while at the doctor’s office, I’ll hear the doctor call “somewhere” and inquire: “Do you have spare parts for an old man from back in the day?” After about an hour, the bulbs were delivered and the man went to work. The area of the service station in which he was working on my car was out of my sight , but when I heard the sound of something approximating the sound of an old German Panzer ( my transmission is a bit noisy), I knew that the inspection had reached an end. I pulled out onto the street, and when I saw an oncoming car in the opposite lane, a sudden realization came to me (just as sudden as my inspiration for checking the expiration date of my registration, and after this second realization came to me I felt more certain about my possible case of adult ADD). Immediately following this, I experienced an instantaneous flashback to Granite Quarry School in the early 1960s, when my fifth-grade teacher, Mrs. Angell angrily said to me: “Mack Williams, you are the most irresponsible boy in my classroom!” My sudden realization was: only having lived in the state of Virginia for a little over two years, I had forgotten that in that state, there are license plates for both the front and back of the car. I decided to pull over, and feeling the need to assume a certain amount of “macho” after all that had gone before, took out the Swiss Army knife which my son Jeremy had given me, thinking that I was going to easily remove the mistakenlyplaced 11 decal from above the Nov. decal and place it in its proper place on the upper right-hand side of my front license plate. Despite the care taken in my efforts, I did irreparable damage to both the 11 and the Nov. beneath it, necessitating my hasty return to the DMV. When I told one of the gracious ladies about what had happened, she said that a full reissuance of stickers for both plates would provide quick correction of what I had done. Since the registration renewal had cost me in the neighborhood of $80, and the inspection (with the inclusion of the three bulbs from “back in the day”) totaled $50, I inquired, with some trepidation as to the price of the replacement decals. The kind lady said: “$1.” This was the best deal which I had experienced all day, but I wouldn’t have been able to have begun the day with that deal. It was only reached after going through the day’s prior route, making me feel somewhat better about what had previously transpired, but not a great deal better.
Mobile home destroyed by fire Legion seeks vendors for Memorial Week BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com
WOODLEAF — The Rowan County Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating a fire that destroyed a mobile home and encroached upon a neighboring double-wide Sunday afternoon at 469 Crump Circle. “The single-wide is burned all the way down, but we did save the double wide,” Lt. Donnie Myers of the ScotchIrish Fire Department said. No one was injured in the fire and both mobile homes were unoccupied. Myers said his crew was the first to arrive on the scene, dropping a water supply line all the way in to the wooded area where the structures were located. He said it took about 15 minutes to control the blaze, which started about 1:45 p.m. More than 4,000 gallons of water were brought in to contain the fire and hot spots surrounding it. Sandy Pflughaupt reported the fire from her home on the other side of the woods. “I saw smoke coming through the woods, the wind was blowing so I figured I better go ahead and call it in” she said. “I was scared of the woods catching on fire ... I’ve got horses and ponies.” Myers said his primary focus was to keep it the blaze away from the woods surrounding it. “That was a big concern,” he said. Rowan Fire Investigator Deborah Horne said about 2 acres of grass near the mobile homes burned. Woodleaf, Cooleemee and Jerusalem fire departments responded to the scene, along with the Rowan County Rescue Squad. Contact reporter Sarah Campbell at 704-797-7683.

The museum’s chapter of Tar Heel Junior Historians is open to students in the eighth grade, and they may remain in the association throughout high school. The first meeting will be at 11 a.m. next Saturday at the Rowan Museum, 202 N. Main St. Museum Education Coordinator Tricia Denton Creel will direct the program, along with Meredith Hovis, a junior at Salisbury High School and a Senior Girl Scout in local Troop No. 527 of Sacred Heart Catholic Church. Hovis is helping to establish the association as her Gold Award Project, the highest award in Girl Scouting. “The Museum has always

wanted to implement this very prestigious program, and Meredith’s challenge on her Gold Award work has been the impetus we have needed to make this happen,” said museum Executive Director Kaye Brown Hirst. “While we conduct wonderful summer programming for the youth of our community, many parents and students have always requested that Saturday programming during the school year be available at the Museum for youngsters.” The Club will meet monthly at the museum. North Carolina has a rich and colorful history that spans centuries. People who helped shape the history of the Tar Heel State include men and women who lived in this community. Tar Heel Junior Historians
make significant contributions to their communities, and in doing so, they learn about themselves. Many of North Carolina’s junior historians have received national recognition for their outstanding achievements. “From my past experience with several former school chapters of the association, participating in this program gives hands on involvement in living and reliving history,” said Terry Holt, a retired history educator and chairman of the museum’s Education Committee. “It also enhances our students’ history curriculum studies during the eighth grade.” For more information or to register with the club, call 704-633-5946 or e-mail tdcreel@carolina.rr.com.

hen Scott Jenkins, the news editor for the Salisbury Post, asked if I would cover the Bigfoot hunt in Troy, he asked the right person. I had a big evening planned, but it isn’t often that a regular guy gets to chase the legend of the elusive Bigfoot. Of course, I hadn’t been close to one before, and DAVID I think FREEZE most of the other 300 searchers were new to the chase too. Even though I live on a farm and have lots of woods around, I haven’t heard of a sighting nearby. Once I heard of an unconfirmed Bigfoot sighting at one of the Ys, but nothing ever came of it. As soon as I drove into the lot at the Eldorado Outpost on Highway 109, I knew this was the real thing and something that I wanted to be part of. Michael Greene has a thermal image of what he claims is a Bigfoot on his website. It sure looks like one to me. He had enticed the Animal Planet TV crew to come see where he hunts, which I am sure was not easy to do. I read Greene’s biography and was significantly impressed. The guy has lived a life of adventure and service, and now he lives in Salisbury. A tank commander, pilot, national ski patrol member, boating enthusiast and much more. Lots of good stories about sightings came from his peers. There has to be something to this. Keep in mind that I am still waiting for Elvis to come out of hiding and start performing again. It seemed that lots of folks had come to Eldorado for a good time and a dose of the unusual. In fact, that is what Claudine Burleson told me. She wouldn’t give her hometown and her friend “Diane” wouldn’t give anything, but the two ladies were there representing the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Bigfoot (SPCB), and trying to get on TV. Diane did say, “This is a good way to stimulate the local economy.” A few girls and moms were selling “Monster Munch,” using the slogan “Don’t just attract them, feed them.” A SUV had a sign on the side, saying “Bigfoot loves Girls Scout Cookies.” It turns out that the Girl Scouts were selling the cookies and Bigfoot

Writer David freeze, left, with Michael Greene, the Salisbury man who organized a search for Sasquatch on Saturday. Hunter license plates. A large sound system was playing Bigfoot hit songs, and there was even some tailgating going on. Of course I knew before arriving that we were going on a Bigfoot search. We tried to find Zagnut, the preferred candy bar of Bigfoot, while passing through Troy. None at Food Lion, none at CVS, and I was about to resort to buying Twix Bars and hoping that the woolly beast likes them too. I had actually planned to put a few Zagnuts in my backpack, and if a Bigfoot came out of the woods after me I would just break off a piece every so often and toss them to him while I was running away. Later, while the evidence search was getting started, we were told by bullhorn to stop and wait until the cameras were ready to do a retake. I kept busy looking for red candy bar wrappers which are easy to spot. Others concentrated on looking for hair and broken branches. The helicopter flew off and came back once when we were ready to start searching again. Everyone was told not to wave at the helicopter. I didn’t. Well, OK, just a little. We stopped by the store on the way out, and one customer said that there were Bigfoot toes on a stick for sale inside. I didn’t ask, but I did buy a couple Zagnut bars from Dianne at the register who stocks them for bait year round. It would be just fine with me if Michael Greene will let me go along on his next hunt. I would make way less
noise than the Animal Planet crew. I’ll go looking for Elvis another time.

GREENVILLE (AP) — At least 100 East Carolina University students say they have lost money when their accounts were accessed in a security breach at a college book store. University Book Exchange owner Don Edwards said last week that the breach happened sometime in January. Students began reporting suspicious transactions in their bank accounts, most of them related to university-issued debit cards. Investigators say they think the source of the breach is outside the U.S. Local police are taking reports so students can go to their banks to try to get their money back.

State tries to slow growth in prison population
RALEIGH (AP) — Appellate judges will soon have to decide a case about whether a nonviable fetus can be a murder victim in North Carolina. The News & Observer reported Sunday that the case of Robert Broom will present the state Appeals Court with a unique question. Robert Broom, 39, was convicted in October of murder in the death of his daughter Lily. Prosecutors say Broom shot his wife, Danna, and doctors delivered baby Lily at 26 weeks so they could operate on her mother. Lily survived 31 days. Doctors said her death was caused by her premature birth. The fetus was not injured in the shooting or delivered stillborn and Danna Broom did not miscarry as a result of the shooting.Those are the reasons a person could be charged with the death of a fetus in North Carolina. But Broom was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison. In its beginnings, the case was significant enough to bring a former prosecutor out of retirement. “This is the kind of case we were all waiting for,” said Gene Morris, a 30-year veteran prosecutor. “We wanted an-
swers to these questions, and this case would force that.” The state Supreme Court has said that to convict someone of murder, the victim must be born alive, capable of living independently of the mother and must have died from injuries suffered prior to birth. When Danna Broom was shot, the bullet missed Lily but shredded her mother’s intestines. Robert Broom told police and later testified that his wife had shot herself and that he immediately called for help. But doctors said there was evidence that Danna Broom had been shot at least eight hours if not more before she received help. Danna Broom says her husband shot her then refused to get her medical assistance for more than 12 hours. Doctors testified they had to deliver the baby so they could operate Danna. “These children are invisible as far as our law is concerned. That shouldn’t be the case,” said Rep. Dale Folwell, R-Forsyth. Folwell has proposed legislation and plans to do it again to let police charge those who kill a pregnant woman with two homicides.

Murder conviction in fetus’ death raises legal questions
North Carolina’s report also found offenders sentenced to prison for lower-level felonies aren’t supervised once they’re released, resulting in higher re-arrest rates. Requiring post-release supervision for these offenders could lower those rates, Stam said. While Stam supports creating a new class of misdemeanors nonviolent drug offenses, it’s unclear if Clement’s group will propose it as an option for state officials to consider. Law enforcement is taking a wait-and-see approach about proposals before they see data, such as whether the jails sheriffs operate would become more or less crowded. “If we can better use our resources in a manner that doesn’t jeopardize public safety, that would be good public policy,” said Eddie Caldwell, executive vice president of the North Carolina Sheriffs Association.

“If a criminal is willing to not be violent, we don’t need to punish them as much as someone who is violent”
evaluating probationers more closely and calculating individual risk levels. More intense supervision is shifting to those with the highest risk levels, department spokesman Keith Acree said. Stam and others contend many probationers return to prison because they’re not experiencing immediately the consequences of failing to meet the requirements of probation until after they make several mistakes. Instead, Stam likes a proposal that would ship probationers to a county jail for a day or a week if they miss a curfew or drug test — giving them a shock that hopefully would keep them out of longterm trouble. Georgia and Hawaii have met with success with such sanctions, said Marshall Clement, the project director for Justice Reinvestment, which has been carried out in more than a dozen states over the past several years.

That’s why he’s created the Bridge Program, which provides students who might not otherwise be able to attend college a chance. “It fits because the only reason for an institution like Livingstone College today is that we are still prepared to do what we were designed to originally do,” he said. Jenkins said the school is committed to taking the disadvantaged and creating the kind of learning environment where they can demonstrate their intellectual skills. “We believe that no child should have to be penalized because of the circumstances of their birth,” he said.
“(Livingstone) has really given us recognition around the world with their work in the AME Zion Church,” she said. “They have a reputation throughout the world with its church and the fact that it’s located here is very much a positive for the city.”

Church links Livingstone College and Hood Theological Seminary were orignally founded as Zion Wesley Institute in Concord for the purpose of training ministers. Although Hood has acted as a separate, independent institution since 2001, its roots were planted at Livingstone. Students enrolled in the first class of a new bachelor of divinity program in 1903. The theological department was upgraded to a school in 1904, and the AME Zion Church began raising money to built a seminary. The seminary was complete in 1910 and dedicated in 1911. In 1965 the AME Zion Church erected a new building for the Seminary on a parcel of land adjacent to the college, donated by Bishop and Mrs. Jacob Walls. Today, Hood Theological Seminary thrives as a graduate school accredited by The Association of Theological Schools to award the Master of Divinity, Master of Theological Studies, and Doctor of Ministry degrees. Although Livingstone and Hood are no long affiliated, Livingstone remains entrenched in Christian values. Joseph Charles Price, the college’s founder and first president, believed in using faith as the cornerstone for education. “We have said nothing of Christian education; but it is reasonable to conclude that (regardless or race of ethnicity), under the influences of Christian intelligences; (we) are prepared to solved all the problems peculiar to our earthly state for Christianity level all distinctions...,” he said during a speech at the National Education Conference.

BY SAM TREADAWAY Read more of Sam’s blogs at: www.salisburypost.com/blogs/treated/ In talking with my peer group, I have found that there is one common phenomenon that many share as they cross into that stage referred to as “midlife.” It’s a threshold that most cross over – even though it may occur earlier for some, and much later for others. It’s when you become your parent's parent. That point at which you begin to take on those areas in life that you have always seen as the responsibilities of parenthood. It can be a sobering event. It demarcates not only your parents’ mortality, but also your own. However, it is also a chance to give back in a very tangible way. It can allow an opportunity to show your gratitude through both deeds and words. In my case, our family was very dysfunc-
tional, even though this predated the “dysfunctional family” label. My father suffered from alcoholism, and it consumed the entire family’s attention. But throughout it all, my mother modeled for me what unconditional love was all about. She did without so that my brother and I would have the opportunities that we still enjoy to this day. She was the calm saint amid the hellish turmoil... or at least that was the way it seemed to me. I realized later that the “calm” demeanor was for my benefit. Everything I enjoy, or ever will enjoy, is due in large part to my mother. Her many sacrifices were often unnoticed, but always appreciated. It has been a privilege and a pleasure to help her as a “parent.” It's the least I can do... for I learned how from observing the best! I just hope that, in “parenting” her, I can display the grace that she showed in parenting me.

COLUMNS/CONTINUED
Happy Valentine’s Day: Some couples happy together, living apart Dear readers: Happy Valentine’s Day! I’ve decided to celebrate this romantic holiday by featuring relationship stories with a twist. Recently, I ran a letter from “Ms. Independent,” a middle-age, financially secure woman with children who is contemplating a second marASK riage. AMY Ms. Independent and her fiance have decided to marry but not live together. Instead, they will live in neighboring apartments. I asked readers to share their unconventional habitation stories. Dear Amy: My husband and I have been married for almost five years and have always lived apart. This is a second marriage for both of us. When we were dating, we tried to blend the families, and it just wasn’t working that well, so we agreed to keep both houses until the kids are off on their own.
We feel we have the best of both worlds. We can see each other when we want, and if we don’t want to get together we are free to have our own time too. It will be interesting to see what will happen when our kids are gone and we have the opportunity to buy a home together, but I am not 100 percent sure that will happen. — Happily Apart Dear Amy: Thirty years ago, a 30-year-old bachelor moved in next door to me (I was 40), and we started a perfect relationship that has lasted for 25 years. We loved the proximity as well as our continued independence, and neither of us wanted to get married. Over the years, we have traveled together, invested in property jointly and maintained our opposite-sex friendships while remaining monogamous. We feel most fortunate to have separate residences. When we recently purchased new condos, we made sure we were still next-door neighbors. — C and M Dear Amy: My 71-year-old “significant other” and I have
lived in small, adjacent condominiums for 18 years. It has turned out to be a perfect arrangement. We “live” between the two units, yet each has a private space. We decorate to suit our own tastes, which are very different. I turned my bedroom into an office, and we sleep in his unit. We remain financially independent, although we have created joint bank accounts for certain shared expenses. Our living arrangement began through serendipity but worked so well we chose to continue rather than move in to one unit. Several other couples in our building have said they envy our situation. — Happily Together
FROM 1a the taxpayers a little bit of money,” Steen said. Right now, he said, federal plans call for eventually straightening Old Beatty Ford and building a new bridge over I-85, “which is going to cost the taxpayers a lot of money, and you have no enhanced area for commerce of anything like that.” The answer, Legg said,
Dear Amy: More than 25 years ago, neighbors of mine introduced me to my future husband. We were financially comfortable and each raising a teenager. We wondered if we were crazy to entertain marrying and living apart but felt it would be easier on our children. The kids are long gone, we are now both retired, approaching our 24th anniversary and still in our respective homes! — Best of Both Worlds
Dear Amy: My husband and I have lived separately for 20 because of years financial/employment circumstances.We attribute our enduring marriage to this arrangement since we are a somewhat mismatched couple.With retirement approaching, we are adding a second kitchen so we each can have our own apartment within one house. We are not sure we'll even need it since we get along so well. — Separately Together TRIBUNE MEDIa SERVICES
time, I learned to let go of my need to control everything, things such as which lane, which radio station, how fast and when to pass. You get the picture. Somewhere between home and the office one day, I did a quick tally of how much we were not spending to own a second car. I came up with an annualized figure of close to $10,000, which included a reasonable monthly payment, ingasoline, oil surance, changes, license and registration, biennial smog check (California thing), carwashes, miscellaneous parking fees, tires, brakes, and other routine maintenance and repairs. I nearly choked on that number. I thought about households with multiple cars. Almost without any effort at all, I settled back into my comfy seat on the passenger side, realizing that I am quite privileged. I have a driver. That was almost 10 years ago, and I must admit that I have become quite accustomed to having a chauffeur. From time to time, I still think about getting a car, but somehow I just can’t get past that number: $10,000 per year. There’s more, too. Not having a car has cut the legs right out from under my impulsive shopping habit. I cannot be-
gin to count the number of times I’ve had a compulsive urge to dash to the garden center or run to the supermarket. But having to plan ahead and make an appointment to use the shared vehicle is like throwing cold water on a hot fire. It passes quickly. I won’t say that living with one car is always easy. It does require planning, compromise and delayed gratification. But, you probably will agree, these are pretty decent character-building attributes. Though being a single-car household may sound like a step backward into less progressive times, it’s one of the best decisions we ever have made. And I wouldn’t change it now for anything.
might not be adding an interchange at Old Beatty Ford, which in addition to being curvy is in a low lying area and presents environmental challenges. A better option could be building an interchange and new roads that directly access the 330 acres Morton and his partners own. Either way, he said, a landuse plan showing the corridor’s potential is key since Federal Highway Administration policy on adding an interstate access point allows for future use to be considered
even when current traffic patterns don’t support one. “It would help sell our case that, ultimately, because of the kind of property that’s been acquired and assembled, it has the potential to create an economic engine and there’s a need for an interchange,” Legg said. Morton said unless highway officials see that need, the opportunity could be lost. “I don’t think anybody can envision growth in that area without an interchange,” he said.

separate housing do not hinder conjugal bliss.” — A Happy 85-year-old
Dear Amy: My guy and I have been together for more than 10 years, and we have always lived in different dwellings. This has enabled us to have our own space, not make each other crazy with annoying habits, and to miss each other. The higher cost of living is balanced by being in a harmonious, bonded relationship. — A Room of Her Own
Enjoying life in the passenger’s seat I live in Southern California, the land of many cars, crowded freeways and a pretty pathetic public transportation system.

In the meantime, I agreed to commute with my husband as the passenger in his vehicle. At first, the situation was nearly intolerable. I hated it, to be completely honest. Ever since I was 20, I’d had my own car. I loved the freedom and spontaneity that comes with a car, but the passenger seat never had been my location of choice. I like to be in charge.

TO THE EDITOR
Convention will give our region a boost In response to Rick Johnson's Feb. 10 letter titled “Think Charlotte’s DNC will create jobs? Dream on”: You say it won’t bring jobs to the area. I beg to differ with you. While the majority of the jobs will be temporary, there will be jobs created by the convention. In addition to the 7,000 volunteers you mentioned, which obviously won’t be paid positions, consider the extra security needed; the extra staffing needed at area hotels and restaurants that will be serving convention-goers; the extra staffing needed for shuttle services; the extra staffing needed for improvements that need to be made to the Time Warner Cable Arena; the staffing needed for concessions and other services at the arena; the opportunity for new small business owners to open restaurants or other businesses that offer goods or services catering to those who will be attending the convention, thus creating the need for employees, and the opportunity to remain in business after the convention is over. You also mentioned the need for $36.5 million-plus in private funds for the convention. In 2008 Denver, Colo., promised $40 million in private funds and in the end raised $55 million. The Denver area received $233 million in economic revenue and an additional $2.7 million in tax revenue. I consider that a substantial return on investment. The 2008 Republican National Convention generated more than $168 million in economic revenue for the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. The twin cities promised $58 million in private funds and raised $66 million. Again, a substantial return on investment. The revenue the Charlotte area will receive, and the jobs created, can only be estimated, but I would welcome either the Republican or Democratic National Convention to this area. I'm happy the selection committee chose Charlotte for the Democratic National Convention. — Donnie Gandy

DNC is not aiming to destroy Charlotte Mr. Johnson, I understand the need for jobs in the area during these unstable economic times. However, I disagree with your view on the 2012 Democratic National Convention. First, I was surprised at how flabbergasted you were at the thought of the DNC promoting unions. Mr. Johnson, unions have been one of the Democrats’ major platforms for years; anyone who follows a presidential election would realize this. I do find it disheartening that union workers from out of state could possibly be brought in to work, but the amount of money being poured into the local economy will be a boost to Charlotte and the surrounding areas. Restaurants, stores, the NASCAR Hall of Fame, Concord Mills and countless other businesses will reap the reward. If you’re worried about the cost to the public, then rest your mind because you solved your own problem when you stated that “$36.5-plus million in private

And finally, Mr. Johnson, you must realize having the DNC will be a great stepping stone for Charlotte to grow economically. An entire week of national and international media, politicians and even celebrities will converge on the city. Even if it was the Republican National Convention I would be ecstatic for them to come to town. Party aside, a national convention in our area that generates an estimated $150 million, according to the DNC and RNC websites, is most certainly welcome.

Valentine’s Day is good for your heart Scripps Howard News Service
alentine’s Day is synonymous with love, and, according to the people who keep track of these things, we will spend an average of $106 showering our loved ones with dinner, flowers, baubles and candy. Don’t think of these purchases as extravagances. Think of them as investments in your wellbeing because love, whatever its other benefits, is good for both your mental and physical health. Rachel Saslow, a medical writer for The Washington Post, set out to test the proposition if having a Valentine’s Day love interest keeps the doctor away. Turns out, it does. Research shows that having a
V
ne of the most profound tragedies of the 20th century was the murder of a great president, John F. Kennedy. His inaugural address was remarkable. I remember watching TV as he uttered those famous words: “Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.” Here in North Carolina, we have a $4 billion budget shortfall. We should remember the words of JFK — ask not what North Carolina can do for you; ask what you can do for North Carolina. In my opinion, we could make many cuts to bring the budget into balance. We must reduce the size of government. We should begin by setting an example to the other states by reducing the size of our government. The national government should also do this. We should examine every department of government in Washington, D.C., and reduce the size of congressional staffs. We should also create laws controlling the lobbies from influencing Congress to establish laws that benefit only a small part of the country. We are burdened by a $14 trillion debt, which we are leaving for our children and grandchildren — decades of debt. We must bring the troops home from Afghanistan and Iraq. We also should Victor S. consider bringing Farrah lives our troops home in Salisbury. from Japan and Germany. We are spending billions of dollars supporting these troops. It is time for Britain, France and Germany to solve the problems that occur in Europe. We must also realize we are not a colony of Britain. It is outrageous to note that three important countries — Great Britain, France and Finland — borrowed billions of U.S. dollars to finance their efforts in World War I. Finland was the only country that paid that debt; France and Britain did not. We can no longer be the policemen of the world. We commit troops to more than 100 countries today. Compound this fact with the record of thousands of U.S. troops lost to protect Britain and France in World War II. Our Congress is considering cutting our tremendous deficit, and they should. They never bring the troops home from these ridiculous assignments for other countries. Try to imagine the impact that bringing our troops home would have on stabilizing our economy and the world economy. We would reduce our debt and not spend money we do not have. Many of these troops could protect our borders and control illegal immigration, also reducing that expense for our governments and protecting jobs for our citizens. It is important to note that these ideas will be difficult for many Americans to accept. Most importantly, it will be hard for Congress to implement these reductions. Other countries should also address their citizens as JFK did (ask not what your country can do for you ...); then we may not be burdened by the expense of being the world’s policemen. The question will arise as to what the returning troops will do for jobs. They will be put to work rebuilding our infrastructure and securing our borders, which will take many years. The time has come for the American people to realize our economy suffers from war. Not only do we create the expense of caring for wounded troops, but we also must pay for rebuilding the countries we destroyed like Germany, Italy, Japan, Afghanistan and Iraq, for which we never get repaid. We are fortunate to live in the greatest country in the world and in all of history. We must remember those words of JFK, by doing as he suggested, to save this wonderful country. May God bless us all and give us the wisdom to accomplish this task.
loving spouse lowers your blood pressure. Moreover, she writes, “Romantic relationships also can provide a sense of meaning and purpose to life that can translate to better selfcare and less risk taking.” Not only is your blood pressure lower, you’re safer as well. A Stony Brook University psychologist found that feelings of love trigger the brain’s dopaminereward system, dopamine being a neurotransmitter that conveys
pleasure. Saslow cites University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill research that found hugging and hand holding caused the release of the hormone oxytocin thus lowering the levels of stress in the body, reducing blood pressure and improving your mood. A study at Carnegie Mellon University found that people happily in love had fewer colds. In an Ohio State study, she writes, the researchers who created tiny blisters on the arms of a group of married couples found that the blisters on the happier couples healed a day sooner. So there you have it. Love is good for your health. Have a happy Valentine’s Day. It’s practically doctor’s orders.

GOP says budget cuts are not big enough WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama will send Congress a $3 trillionplus budget today that promises $1.1 trillion in deficit reduction over the next decade by freezing many domestic programs for five years, trimming military spending and limiting tax deductions for the wealthy. Jacob Lew, the president’s budget director, said Sunday that the new spending plan for the 2012 would disprove the notion that “we can do this painlessly ... we are going to make tough choices.” Republicans rejected that appraisal, castigating Obama for proposals that will boost spending in such areas as education, public works and research, and charging that Obama’s cuts are not deep enough. They vowed to push ahead with their own plans to trim $61 billion in spending from the seven months left in the current budget year and then squeeze Obama’s 2012 budget plan for billions of dollars in additional savings in response to voters alarmed at an unprecedented flood of red ink.

Jay-Z, John Legend early Grammy leaders
LOS ANGELES (AP) — After a long-distance courtship, a NASA spacecraft is set to meet up with its celestial sweetheart — a comet half the size of Manhattan that had an encounter with another spacecraft not long ago. The rendezvous between Stardust and comet Tempel 1 occurs on Valentine’s Day some 210 million miles from Earth. Hurtling at 24,000 mph, Stardust will fly within 125 miles of the potato-shaped comet, snapping pictures along the way. If successful, it will be the first time that scientists will have before-and-after images of Tempel 1, allowing them to observe any changes on the uneven surface. In 2005, Tempel 1 received a not-so-loving visit from another NASA probe named Deep Impact, which fired a copper bullet into the comet on the Fourth of July that sparked cosmic fireworks and excavated a crater. The highspeed crash hurled out so much dust and debris that Deep Impact failed to see the manmade hole even as it beamed back dazzling pictures of other surface features. Scientists hope to get a second chance with Stardust, which is expected to pass near the 2005 bull’s-eye.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jay-Z and John Legend were the early leaders at the Grammys on Sunday, as both were awarded three trophies each during the show’s pretelecast ceremony. Other multiple winners included Lady Gaga, Usher, Lady Antebellum, Jeff Beck and the Black Keys, who all won two apiece. Eminem was the leading nominee with 10, but his chance of a huge Grammy sweep was diminished as he lost five of the awards in the pre-telecast ceremony. He still picked up one — best rap solo performance, for “Not Afraid.” Gospel legend Mavis Staples was a tearful winner as she picked up the first Grammy of her career, for best Americana album, for “You Are Not Alone.” “That was the shock of my life. My goodness. It’s been a long time, a long time coming,” she said, breaking into tears. Neil Young also won his first musical Grammy (he had won for best boxed box set in 2009). “I’m not Mavis, but I’m close,” he joked, as he held his trophy for best rock song for “Angry World.” Other notable winners included Bruno Mars, Rihanna, Cee Lo Green and Danger Mouse, who won producer of the year.

At a time when the weak economy is squeezing communities across the nation, recently released census figures show that nowhere are the numbers as bad as here — a county with 2,500 residents, most of them Cheyenne River Sioux Indians living on a reservation.

In the coldest months of the year, when seasonal construction work disappears and the South Dakota prairie freezes, unemployment among the Sioux can hit 90 percent. Poverty has loomed over this land for generations. Repeated attempts to create jobs have run into stubborn obstacles: the isolated location, the area’s crumbling infrastructure, a poorly trained population and a tribe that struggles to work with businesses or attract investors. Now the tribe — joined by a few entrepreneurs, a development group and a nonprofit — is renewing efforts to create jobs and encourage a downtrodden population to start its own businesses.

Egyptian military dissolves parliament CAIRO (AP) — Egypt’s military rulers took sweeping action to dismantle the autocratic legacy of former President Hosni Mubarak on Sunday, dissolving parliament, suspending the constitution and promising elections in moves cautiously welcomed by prodemocracy protesters. The caretaker government, backed by the military, said restoring security after the 18-day uprising that ousted Mubarak was a top priority even as labor unrest reflected one of the many challenges of steering the Arab world’s biggest nation toward stability and democracy. Egypt’s upheaval was also splintering into a host of smaller grievances, the inevitable outcome of emboldened citizens feeling free to speak up, most of them for the first time. They even included about 2,000 police, widely hated for brutality and corruption under Mubarak, who marched to the Interior Ministry to demand better pay and conditions. They passed through the protest camp at Tahrir Square, where demonstrators hurled insults at them, calling them “pigs” and “dogs.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Here’s Michelle Obama’s advice for couples this Valentine’s Day: laugh with your partner. She says it’s what she and President Barack Obama do, and it seems to be working. Their marriage, although tested throughout the years by his political ambitions — for the Illinois Senate, the U.S. Senate and later president — is going on 19 years. “I think a lot of laughing,” the first lady said Tuesday at a White House luncheon with reporters who asked about the Obamas’ union. “I think in our house we don’t take ourselves too seriously, and laughter is the best form of unity, I think, in a marriage. “So we still find ways to have fun together, and a lot of it is private and personal. But we keep each other smiling and that’s good,” she added. It also helps that Obama is “very romantic.” “He remembers dates, birthdays,” Mrs. Obama said last week on “Live! With Regis and Kelly. “He doesn’t forget a thing, even when I think he is. . I’ll have a little attitude. I give him a little attitude, but he always comes through.” “Got to keep the romance alive, even in the White House,” she said. As for Valentine’s Day, the first lady said her husband would do right by giving her jewelry. “You can’t go wrong,” she said. But Mrs. Obama also said they don’t fuss too much over the day that’s about celebrating love and affection between couples.

Bridge program gives Livingstone students a second chance
ACADEMICS FROM 1a in a situation where they can best function and be successful. “We think changing attitudes and behaviors makes a huge difference.”
Campus changes Freshmen entering Livingstone must sign a contract to live on campus for three years. “You can be very distracted as a young person when you’ve got your own apartment, we are trying to keep them focused on why they are here,” he said. Freshman are also not allowed to have cars on campus. . “That, again, is another distraction because you can jump in your car and drive off campus,” Jenkins said. “If you didn’t have a car you would probably spend more time on campus.” The campus is also equipped with a swipe card system. “We can track students wherever they are on campus,” Jenkins said. “That’s important to us because it helps to diagnose a student situation.” Jenkins said if a students goes to their adviser about problems in class they can pull up the data and see if the student is habitually late or never goes to the library. “It may look like a boot camp type environment, but what it’s really our attempt to provide locks for honest people,” he said. “It will help keep their focus on why they came here.” The college is also serving more fruits and vegetables in the cafeteria and encouraging students to get involved in exercise. “We are trying to make them more conscience of their lifestyles and how they live,” Callahan said. “We’re also trying to get them up and moving.” Jenkins said he’s also working to reduce obesity because it leads to other ailments such as diabetes. “Our goal is to have our students graduate as fit and healthy as possible,” he said.
Real world skills Jenkins said in an effort to produce more well-rounded graduates, the college is also teaching students about money management and debt. “Too many of our students get attracted to these easily acquired credit cards, but don’t understand they are amassing debt,” he said. “Too often by the time they graduate they have amassed major dept, which keeps them from doing other things in life.” The college is teaching students how to manage money and overcome debt through its Outstanding Balance Reduction Plan. “They receive jobs both on and off campus and they money they earn goes toward paying off that debt,” Jenkins said. “We get work done on campus that ordinarily we would outsource, so it helps the college reduce expenses and students pay down debt.” And, Jenkins said the pro-
gram doesn’t just provide students with financial aid. “It also teaches them work ethics, the importance of being on time and doing a job well and how to earn an income,” he said. Students can also become certified in CPR, which Jenkins said means they have the potential to be lifesavers. As part of the Holistic College, every student must take two semesters of Spanish. “It’s the second-most used language in the country so we want all of our students to have conversational Spanish skills,” Callahan said. Jenkins said Spanish was the chosen language because he believe students will actually come into contact with Spanish-speakers. “We would love to be more diverse, but our resources don’t dictate that so we decided to focus our resources on Spanish,” he said.
they are here because they get so much support and love,” Kyles said. Kyles said after the sixweek program is over students aren’t abandoned. “During the academic year we meet every Monday at 11 a.m. so that they are in contact with each other,” he said. Kyles said the program continues to provide tutoring and academic advising throughout their time at Livingstone. “We check up with them four times each semester to make sure they are going to class and doing well,” he said. “We also have an open door policy. “And, they have my number, they know can contact me 24-7 and they do.” Kyles has worked with youth for more than 30 years, but he finds his role as Bridge program director most rewarding. “I like to see when the light bulb goes off and they have the opportunity to see
they can be whoever they want to be,” he said. Six students graduated from the Bridge program last spring, one in the top of her class. The program recruits about 100 students each years through recommendations from guidance counselors, principals, teachers and pastors. “The program is actually working and students are reaping the benefits,” Kyles said. “They are positioning themselves to make some positive contributions to society. “It’s awesome because these are kids that everybody had written off.” Contact reporter Sarah Campbell at 704-797-7683
What’s next? Jenkins said he won’t be making any drastic changes in the future. “We need to take a look at what kind of results we’re getting,” he said. “We need to see where we might need to tweak here and there to sort of get better results, that will dictate what other things need to be done.” Jenkins said the success of the Holistic College will be measured by retention rates. “That will really dictate how we are going to go about making changes.” Contact reporter Sarah Campbell at 704-797-7683.

Benefits of Holistic College? Although the Holistic College was created to foster growth of the entire students, Jenkins said there is also another payoff. “The goal is to increase the graduation rate ... all of these things are designed to get more students to graduate,” he said. Jenkins said the Holistic College is helping change the culture at Livingstone. “Somebody might think this is not what would be expected at a college or university,” he said. “But, if you keep doing what you’ve always you get the same results. “We expect to get different results.” Callahan said he believes the Holistic College will give Livingstone an edge in the future. “I think it’s going to give us a niche,” he said. “It kind of makes us different than other institutions that are our size.”

Students who might not normally have an opportunity to go to college because they struggled in high school or received low scores on the SAT are getting another chance at Livingstone. The school’s Bridge Program helps put those students on the fast track to success. “They come in during the summer for a six-week session where they participate in a bunch of things to get them ready for college,” program director Sylvester Kyles said. “We really work with them to help them be successful.” During the six-week period students get up everyday at 6:15 a.m. for a workout, morning devotion and breakfast before heading to class. “At the end of their academic day they have a 90minute tutoring session in which tutors help them with time management and organ-
ization,” Kyles said. “We find out what their learning styles are and help them with study skills.” Afternoons consist of intermural sports, performing arts classes and free time in the computer lab. “The evening is summed up with a wrap session with our student staff, which consists of former Bridge students and students who are doing exceptionally well,” Kyles said. “That gives them the college student perspective.” Kyles said the program goes hand-in-hand with President Dr. Jimmy Jenkins’ holistic approach. “We try to appeal to the whole student,” he said. On the weekends, students travel to a variety of places ranging from civil rights museums to water parks. And every Sunday they visit local churches for morning service. “The students love it, they wish they could just do Bridge the whole four years

WINSTON-SALEM — C.J. Leslie’s susN.C. State 80 pension is W. Forest 55 over. Perhaps so too are those pesky struggles on the road for North Carolina State, which once again showed just how wide the gulf is between last place and nextto-last in the Atlantic Coast Conference. The freshman returned from a one-game suspension and scored 19 points to help the Wolfpack rout Wake Forest 80-55 on Sunday for their most lopsided league victory on the road in 56 years. “This was a game we needed,” Leslie said. Tracy Smith scored 20
points to lead N.C. State (1311, 3-7) to its first win of the season on an opponent’s regular home court, though the Wolfpack did beat Elon at the Greensboro Coliseum. N.C. State, which never trailed, snapped a four-game losing streak by convincingly winning a matchup of the ACC’s two worst teams in what coach Sidney Lowe called “the best game we’ve put together in a while.” “Guys are smiling because we got a win,” Smith said. “On the road, at that. We’ve got to keep moving forward from here.” Freshman Travis McKie had 15 points for the lastplace Demon Deacons (8-17, 1-9). They turned it over 15

duke star Nolan smith drives hard against the defense of Miami’s durand scott.
CORAL GABLES, Fla. — Duke coach Mike Duke 81 K r z y z e w s k i Miami 71 looked down his bench midway through the first half, trying to check on Nolan Smith. Small problem: Smith wasn’t there. “That’s not a good thing,” Krzyzewski said. Fortunately for No. 5 Duke, Smith returned in plenty of time. Playing with a scratched left eye, the senior guard scored 16 of his 18 points in the second half, Seth Curry added 16 points and five steals and Duke extended its Atlantic Coast Conference lead by holding off Miami 81-71 on Sunday night. “It was closed for a while,” Smith said. “I really didn’t know what was going on at the time. They just
numbed it up a bit at halftime. Now I feel fine.” His teammates more than helped the cause. Kyle Singler scored 14 and Mason Plumlee 12 for the Blue Devils (23-2, 10-1). Duke’s record after 25 games matches its best since the 2005-06 season. It turned out to be a nifty gift for Krzyzewski, on his 64th birthday. “It’s unbelievable being 52,” Krzyzewski said. “I know I look a lot older.” Reggie Johnson scored 16 points on 7-of-9 shooting for Miami (15-10, 4-7), which was bidding for its first four-game ACC winning streak since February 2008. The Hurricanes fell to 1-17 since 2000 against teams ranked in the AP Top 25, the lone win coming against Duke three seasons ago. The Blue Devils didn’t let that

Junior on pole at
Daytona BY CHRIS JENKINS Associated Press
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — NASCAR is back — and so is Juniormania. Dale Earnhardt Jr. reclaimed the spotlight in Daytona speedweeks, winning pole position for the Daytona 500 with a lap of 186.089 mph in qualifying Sunday. It’s a boost for Earnhardt, who is coming off a couple of disappointing seasons and spent part of the past week facing questions about the 10year anniversary of his father’s death at the track. Still, Earnhardt was in an upbeat, joking mood after winning the pole. And while he understands the hype his presence on the pole and his family ties are bound to stir up this week, he’ll mostly try to ignore it. “I wouldn’t embrace that,” Earnhardt said. “I’m here to race. And I understand the situation and I’m looking forward to seeing how my father is honored and remembered throughout the week, and I’ll enjoy that, but I don’t really get into the hypothetical, fairy-tale sort of stuff. I just want to focus on my job.” Earnhardt’s Hendrick Motorsports teammate, Jeff Gordon, qualified second. It’s the second straight Daytona 500 front row sweep for Hendrick, who put Mark Martin on the pole and Earnhardt in the No. 2 spot last year. The rest of the field will be set after a pair of qualifying races Thursday. Bill Elliott, Travis Kvapil and Joe Nemechek also clinched spots in the field, and Terry Labonte is assured of a starting spot. Having NASCAR’s most popular driver take the green flag first next Sunday could provide some traction for a sport looking to pick up sagging television ratings and attendance. An Earnhardt win would be even bigger. “I think that’s just kind of going to build the hype and excitement for next Sunday’s race,” Gordon said. “I love to bring back a lot of these memories about Dale and what he brought to the sport, his legacy, and it reminds me of a lot of the things I learned from him and the good times that we had. I think it’s very cool to pay attention to that and to celebrate it.” But Earnhardt acknowledged that qualifying results aren’t necessarily a good predictor of success in the race. “It obviously gives you a good idea that you’ve got a great car, but anyone can win

dale earnhardt Jr. (88) and tony stewart (14) lead the pack of cars to start the Budweiser shootout.
NASCAR season got off to wild start BY JENNA FRYER Associated Press
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — It was a two-car tango at Daytona International Speedway, where the wild, pack racing was replaced Saturday night by sizzling fast speeds and a strange ending that gave Kurt Busch the win in the Budweiser Shootout. The exhibition race was the first test on Daytona's smooth new pavement, and speeds at times hit 206
mph in a race that had a record 28 lead changes among nine drivers. The final pass, though, was ruled illegal as Denny Hamlin was disqualified for going below the out-ofbounds line. It made Busch, who actually crossed the finish line in second place, the first Dodge driver to win the non-points race that has opened Speedweeks for the last 33 years. "What an unbelievable experience, this two-car draft. I had no idea what to expect going in," Busch
said. "I was just going to take it one lap at a time and see how it played out." The ruling against Hamlin by NASCAR was not controversial. The yellow-line rule has been in effect and enforced since NASCAR returned to Daytona in July 2001, nearly five months following the last-lap accident that killed Dale Earnhardt. "I thought it was a great, threewide finish," said Hamlin, "but obviously I used some pavement I
shouldn't have." It was instead the style of racing seen Saturday that created the most controversy as the opinions between drivers and fans differed greatly. The racing at Daytona had for so long been a white-knuckle, bumperto-bumper mob of race cars unable to pull away from each other. Cars could shoot through the field at will, but one small bobble often created

Triple-double for Rondo Associated Press
BOSTON — LeBron James and the MiCeltics 85 ami Heat Heat 82 couldn’t win in Boston in the regular season. And now they might have to do it in the playoffs. Rajon Rondo had a tripledouble, and James missed a crucial free throw with 12.5 seconds left in the Celtics’ 8582 victory over Miami on Sunday. Boston improved to 3-0 against the Heat this season, taking back the top spot in the East and clinching the potential tiebreaker for home-court AssociAted Press advantage in the playoffs. Boston’s rajon rondo makes a move on sunday against The teams will play again the defensive efforts of Miami’s eddie House. in Miami on April 10.
“They are the defending Eastern Conference champions. You have to go through them, and they ain’t going to make it easy,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “We understand that this isn’t going to be an easy ride for us, and that’s where we’re at our best.” The Heat eliminated most of a 13-point fourth-quarter deficit and trailed 83-81 with 19 seconds left when they brought the ball in from a timeout and got it to James at the top of the key. He drove on Paul Pierce and drew the foul but missed the first shot, then made the second. On the ensuing inbound pass, James went into the stands for the ball but merely
knocked it to Ray Allen; the Celtics got the ball downcourt to Glen “Big Baby” Davis, who was fouled. Davis hit both foul shots with 6.3 seconds to go, and Mike Miller missed a 3point attempt in the final seconds that would have sent the game to overtime. “They’re going to be a different team in March and April, the more important months, when we’ll probably have to see them again,” said Paul Pierce, who was 0-for-10 from the floor and scored just one point. “It gives us the series in case something happens with a tiebreaker.” The Celtics have won 12 of 13 against Miami, including a

Area athletes update ... Saturday was a good day for former Rowan pitchers, as Brevard freshman Zack Simpson (West Rowan) earned his first college win and UNC Pembroke freshman Thomas Allen (East Rowan) won a decision in his college debut. Simpson, a tall southpaw who could be a steal for Brevard, limited Alderson-Broaddus to five hits and one run in seven innings to lead the Tornados to a 5-1 victory. Allen allowed nine hits and three runs in five innings, but he also struck out eight in an easy 11-3 win against Salem International. Coming back from an injuryshortened year, Belmont Abbey junior outfielder Caleb Shore (South Rowan) produced three hits in a doubleheader on Satur- SHORE day, including a grand slam. While he didn’t pitch well statistically on Saturday, Forrest Buchanan (Salisbury) was credited with his first win of the season for Belmont Abbey’s Crusaders. Freshman Taylor West (NW Cabarrus) was terrific in his mound debut for Belmont Abbey last week, allowing one run in five innings against Carson-Newman to record his first college victory. Alex Britt (Salisbury) pitched well for Carson-Newman on Friday in a no-decision against Grand Valley State, striking out five and allowing two earned runs in 51⁄3 innings. Britt left the game with a 4-2 lead, but the Eagles wound up losing 6-4. Blake Houston (South) is Catawba’s leading hitter after seven games with a .350 batting average, while Ryan Bostian (South) leads the Indians in runs scored with six. Tanner Brown (North Rowan) picked up a win on the mound for Bryan College last week. He held Rio Grande to four hits JARRETT in six innings and struck out eight. Pitt Community College’s Micah Jarrett (East) racked up three hits on opening day. Jess Cartner (Davie) went 3for-8 in Wilkes Community College’s first two contests. Division I schools open the season Friday. Players to watch from the area include Appalachian State’s Trey Holmes, Noah Holmes and Preston Troutman; Charlotte’s Corbin Shive, Justin Roland and Ross Steedley; High Point’s Maverick Miles; Liberty’s Keegan Linza, and Army’s Jon Crucitti. GYMNASTICS Dylan Parrott (South) led Navy to a prestigious win against Army in the Star Meet on Saturday. Parrott won the vault and finished in the top three in all six events. TRACK AND FIELD At Clemson’s Tiger Paw Invitational, former East pole vaulters Wayne Parker and Keith Leonard had a
big meet for Western Carolina. Parker matched his personal best, placing fourth at 14 feet, 71⁄4 inches. Leonard recorded a personal best (14-11⁄4) and tied for sixth. WCU’s Ryan Pless (East) placed fifth in the shot put (50 feet, 6 inches) and seventh in the weight throw. Charlotte’s Makenzie Mullinax (South) also compet- PARKER ed in the Tiger Paw and was eighth in the women’s pole vault, clearing 10-4. Appalachian State’s Phillip Bush (North) was 10th in the long jump (22-5) at the Akron Invitational on Saturday. UNC PemPLESS broke’s Diricka Mitchell (North) was ninth in the shot put in Saturday’s UNC Invitational. WOMEN’S HOOPS Tallahassee Community College’s Bubbles Phifer (Salisbury) scored 19 BUSH points on Saturday in a loss to Pensacola State, the topranked junior college team. Voorhees’ Rashonda Mayfield (West) had six assists in Saturday’s game against Fisk. She had 17 points MITCHELL and eight rebounds in Tuesday’s game against Allen. Katie Wise (South Rowan) scored two points for UNC Asheville in Saturday’s loss to Presbyterian. MEN’S HOOPS Rio Grande’s Doug Campbell (Salisbury) hit three 3s and scored 12 points in a loss to Lindsey Wilson on Saturday. Campbell has connected on 46 3-pointers for the Red Storm this season. Kaleb Kimber (West) has been a 40-percent 3-point shooter for Rio (11-for-27). In Charlotte’s 71-70 overtime loss at Rhode Island on Saturday, K.J. Sherrill (West) had 14 points and seven rebounds in 37 minutes of playing time. He shot solid percentages — 4-for-6 from the field and 6-for-7 from the foul line. SOFTBALL Erin Foster (West) went 4-for-4 for Western Carolina in FOSTER a 15-7 win against Maryland-Eastern Shore in a game played in Cary on Saturday. Foster, who played two years at Walters State Community College, had a great debut for the Catamounts. In four games over the weekend, she had nine hits, 11 RBIs and two home runs. Western’s Morgan Wyatt (Davie) had five hits and five RBIs as the Catamounts swept MarylandEastern Shore and Morgan State.

Prep tournaments begin tonight From staff reports
Conference tournaments start tonight for area basketball teams. 1A YVC North Rowan’s boys are seeded No. 2 but enters the tournament on equal footing with No. 1 Albemarle. North plays at home on Tuesday. While an Albemarle-North meeting on Friday in the YVC championship game to decide who gets the No. 1 seed for the state playoffs is likely, it’s not a done deal. No. 3 West Montgomery beat North and Albemarle during the regular season, and No. 5 South Davidson is a hot team. Semifinals and finals are at South Davidson. North’s girls are seeded fifth and travel to East Montgomery tonight. 2A CCC Both Salisbury teams are playing for trophies and banners, but both have already clinched No. 1 seeds for the state playoffs. The SHS teams will play a doubleheader on Wednesday in semifinal action at East Davidson. 3A NPC girls Carson and West are in the playoffs. Both play at home tonight at 6. Carson enters the tournament as the No. 2 seed for the state playoffs. To move up from No. 3 to No. 2, West has to win the tournament. South’s girls play at East Rowan tonight at 6. The winner qualifies for the state playoffs. The loser is done. 3A NPC boys South Rowan’s boys have to win tonight at West Iredell (6 p.m.), and East Rowan’s boys have to win at West Rowan (7:30) in order to extend their seasons.
Carson, the No. 4 seed, is home tonight and is in the playoffs unless a lower-seeded team win the tournament. West Rowan is No. 2 for the tournament and keeps that seed for the playoffs unless a team seeded lower than WR wins the tournament. Semifinals and championship games will be played at Carson. CPC Davie’s boys play Tuesday. They enter the tournament seeded No. 3 but are even with No. 2 Mount Tabor. A Davie-Tabor meeting in a semifinal is likely and would determine the No. 2 seed for the 4A state playoffs. SPC A.L. Brown’s boys tied Central Cabarrus for fourth. Tonight’s meeting will determine the league’s No. 4 and No. 5 seeds for the 3A playoffs.
College softball Catawba split a doubleheader at UNC Pembroke. Khourtni Hester hit a first-inning grand slam to key the Indians’ 6-3 win in the opener.
College baseball Pfeiffer’s baseball team beat Francis Marion 3-1 on Sunday at Ferebee Field. Bryan Tuttle pitched a complete game for the Falcons (4-3).

Delaney’s season-high 33 points too much for Jackets Associated Press
BLACKSBURG, Va. — If Virginia Tech’s Malcolm Delaney needed extra motivation for his team’s game with Georgia Tech, he only needed to look at the box score from the last time these two squads met. He scored eight points and turned the ball over eight times in the Hokies’ 72-57 loss to the Yellow Jackets on Jan. 25. His performance the second time around was much better. Delaney scored 22 of his season-high 33 points in the first half to lead Vir-
N.C. STATE FROM 1B times — their fourth straight game with at least that many — and have lost four straight and 14 of 16. “We just didn’t have enough fight tonight. Period,” McKie said. “I’m not trying to sugarcoat nothing. They played hard. We didn’t. They executed. We didn’t. They banged to the boards. We didn’t. Just a bad showing on our part.” Leslie was 7 of 13 from the field for the Wolfpack, who were coming off a disheartening 24-point loss to No. 5 Duke eight days earlier — a game Leslie missed while he was suspended for violating an unspecified team rule. “It wasn’t so much about sending a message. It was just the policy,” Lowe said. “I’m not a coach that holds grudges, so to speak. Young men, they’re going to make mistakes, but it’s up to us as coaches to try to help them to understand. He worked his tail off, he came back to practice, he showed no signs of being upset about anything ... and he was great in practice. Then he came out and played well today.” N.C. State shot 55.9 percent (33 of 59) against a Wake For-
ginia Tech past Georgia Tech 102-77 on Sunday. The Hokies (16-7, 6-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) now have won 12 of their past 15 games and are alone in fourth place in the ACC. “I worked hard and I played smarter, and I hit shots,” Delaney said, explaining the difference between the two games. “I did what I normally do. In Atlanta, I just didn’t make shots. “Honestly, I forgot about that game. After I came home and got in the gym, that game was out of my mind. We lost the game, but I wasn’t
est defense that allows its opponents to shoot nearly 45 percent, and the Wolfpack finally separated themselves with a 20-6 run early in the second half that put them up by double figures to stay. Leslie had consecutive fast-break buckets before Scott Wood capped the burst with a stickback that made it 59-41 with 11 minutes left. “What really helped us was, our bigs were running,” Lowe said. “If you want to be a running team, then you have to have bigs that are running.” Wake Forest didn’t get closer than 13 the rest of the way, and Lorenzo Brown later put N.C. State up 20 for the first time when his layup with just over 4 minutes left made it 73-53. N.C. State finished with 22 assists to only 11 turnovers, held a 36-26 rebounding advantage and scored 46 points in the paint. Those are three big reasons why the Wolfpack claimed their most one-sided road victory in league play since winning at Clemson and at then-ACC member South Carolina by 30 and 29 points, respectively, on consecutive days in December 1954. Then again, losing at home isn’t anything new these days for Wake Forest, which is 7-9 under first-year coach Jeff Bzdelik at the once-inhos-
thinking about, Oh, we need to play Georgia Tech and we need to beat them because of how I played.’ I was thinking about getting a win. That was my only focus.” Delaney hit 9 of 14 from the floor for the game, including three 3-pointers, and he connected on 12 of 14 from the free-throw line. He missed his career high in points by just four. No. 10 UConn 75, Providence 57 STORRS, Conn.— Jamal CoombsMcDaniel, who isn’t a scorer, had a career-high 25 points and Kemba Walker, the Big East's No. 2 scorer,
had 22 as No. 10 Connecticut beat Providence on Sunday night. Coombs-McDaniel, whose previous career high was 13 points and who averages 4.5 points per game, finished 10 for 17 from the field and also pulled down a career-high eight rebounds for the Huskies (19-5, 7-5). No. 11 Georgetown 69, Marquette 60 WASHINGTON — Chris Wright scored 20 points, Austin Freeman added 17 despite limping badly off the court in the first half, and No. 11 Georgetown survived the run-'emragged strategy of Marquette coach Buzz Williams to win its eighth

Tracy Smith scored 20 points for the Wolfpack. pitable Joel Coliseum. “We know we’re much better than we showed today, but that is meaningless at this point,” Bzdelik said. “And like this whole season has been, it’s been a learning experience, and I’m confident that our young players will learn from this experience.” For the Wolfpack, this was the kind of performance they needed after slipping all the way to 11th place in the league, winning in WinstonSalem for only the second time in Lowe’s five seasons. After routing the Demon Deacons by 21 points last month in Raleigh, they took control from the opening tip.
happen again, building a double-digit lead midway through the second half and controlling the game from there. “I thought our guys competed,” Miami coach Frank Haith said. “Obviously, we had some breakdowns defensively and gave them some open looks. ... A lot of broken plays.” Miami got within six points twice in the final minute, only to have Tyler Thornton hit two free throws on ensuing Duke possessions to keep the Hurricanes out of reach. Duke finished 17 of 21 at the foul line, compared with 5 of 6 by Miami. “We’ve got to figure out a way to get to that free throw line,” Haith said. Malcolm Grant also scored 16 and Durand Scott added 10 points and a game-high eight assists for the Hurricanes, who play four of their last six regular-season games on the road. In short, when Smith got rolling, everything started to click for Duke. He went to the bench with two fouls — and a bigger problem — with 13:08 left in the opening half. After fouling Johnson, Smith was inadvertently poked in the eye, and that was Duke’s bigger concern. It turned out to be a missed opportunity for Miami. The Hurricanes were down 16-15 when Smith left the game, and the deficit was 3127 when he returned, in part because Miami’s best scorer was on the bench as well. Grant scored 12 points and hit three 3-pointers in the first 6:53 of the game, then sat out the final 9:32 until halftime after getting his second foul.
straight game on Sunday. The win moved the Hoyas (20-0, 9-4) into sole possession of third place in the Big East and kept alive their longest conference win streak since 2006-07. No. 14 Purdue 81, Illinois 70 CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — JaJuan Johnson scored 24 points and E'Twaun Moore added 20 to lead No. 14 Purdue to a comeback on Sunday. The Illini (16-9, 6-6 Big Ten) led 32-27 at halftime. The Boilermakers (20-5, 9-3) opened the second half with a 10-4 run that gave them a 3736 lead with 15 minutes to play.
“Frustrating,” Grant said. “I’m not out there able to help my team in every way possible.” Smith didn’t make his first field goal until 15:16 remained in the game, a pull-up in transition. Once he started, the scores came in bunches. He made three more shots in the next 3 minutes, capped by a driving layup after Julian Gamble missed a dunk at the other end to give Duke what was then its biggest lead, 61-51 with 11:34 remaining. Curry carried Duke in the first half with 13 points. Smith assumed the workload from there. “We came up with big stops,” Curry said. “At times, they were getting whatever they wanted, with open shots and Johnson inside. When we needed them the most, we came up with the stops.” Duke hadn’t played since Wednesday’s 7973 home win over North Carolina, a game in which the Blue Devils fought their way back from an early 16-point deficit. They started slowly Sunday as well. Miami made its first four shots, capped by Grant connecting on a 3-pointer while getting fouled by Smith for a quick 10-4 lead. Things calmed down quickly. Duke scored the next seven points, and although Miami reclaimed the lead six more times during a back-and-forth first half, the Hurricanes’ biggest edge came at 37-33 after Rion Brown made a 3-pointer with 2:46 left. Duke closed the half on a 9-0 run, and after Miami got within one early in the second half, another 9-0 burst — fueled when Smith finally found his scoring groove — pushed the Blue Devils’ lead back to double digits. “Difference in the game,” Haith said.

Lap 3 a tribute to Dale
POLE FROM 1B the race,” Earnhardt said. “There’s guys that qualified outside the top 20 that have got winning cars.” Qualifying was almost an afterthought Sunday, as drivers and crew chiefs were preoccupied with NASCAR’s reaction to the sudden emergence of two-car drafting suddenly becoming the fast way to get around Daytona. With the drafting duos pushing speeds past 200 mph, NASCAR officials imposed restrictions the cars’ cooling systems Sunday evening. It’s an attempt to make it more difficult for one car to push another all the way around the track because the pushing car’s engine might overheat; limiting the drafting tandems could reduce speeds. Earnhardt said he liked the old style of racing at Daytona, where drivers had to zigzag through one big pack of cars — after all, he was pretty good at it. “I prefer the other style better,” Earnhardt said. “But, I mean, it was fun last night. I prefer having more choices in my own destiny, I guess. Nothing against what happened last night. I thought it was an exciting race to be in, exciting ending to watch. Different than what we’re used to.” Earnhardt, the 2004 Daytona 500 winner, has fallen on hard times in recent years. He hasn’t won a race since 2008. But winning the pole at Daytona could be an early indication that Hendrick Motorsports’ offseason crew shakeup might have the No. 88 team pointed in the right direction.

dale earnhardt Jr. gives a thumps-up to his fans after qualifying on the pole for the daytona 500. Although Jimmie Johnson won his fifth consecutive championship last season, team owner Rick Hendrick reshuffled the deck for the rest of his teams. Earnhardt was paired with Steve Letarte, who had been Gordon’s crew chief, and Earnhardt’s No. 88 team was
SHOOTOUT FROM 1B dangerous accidents. When the track opened last month for testing, though, teams had seemingly figured out the new NASCAR rule packages and the smooth surface at Daytona had created a new strategy of two-car racing. So from the start of Saturday's 75-lap race, the field was quickly split into several packs of two cars. It lasted all the way to the end, when two packs of two had pulled so far away from everyone else that they were the only four drivers in contention for the win. Ryan Newman was leading Hamlin around the oval, with Busch and Daytona 500 winner Jamie McMurray trailing close behind. Newman, as the leader, said he knew he was "a sitting duck" as he waited for Hamlin's attempted pass. It came as they closed in on the checkered flag, when Hamlin dove
moved into the same race shop as Johnson and crew chief Chad Knaus. “I really enjoy the way the team approaches their jobs and what their goals are,” Earnhardt said. “I sort of like the way they go about business, how they conduct themselves. I’m enjoying every-
low and eventually under the yellow line that circles the bottom of the track. Busch then skirted around Newman at the top of the track, pulling McMurray with him. Hamlin was black-flagged and fell to 12th in the final standings, while Busch was declared the winner with McMurray and Newman finishing second and third. Hamlin understood NASCAR's ruling. "That yellow line's there to protect us and the fans in the stands safety. I just chose to take the safer route," he said. "Winning a Shootout's not worth sending (Newman) through the grandstands, and for me, as fast as what we're running, if I get into his left rear, that car will go airborne. "It's a tough position. I probably should have gone high to avoid that whole thing." Busch gushed praise on McMurray, a friend off the track who he credited for pushing him around the oval and staying on his rear bumper so that Busch could pick up his first
win at Daytona. "He was the man tonight. He stayed with us. He stayed true," Busch said. "I can't thank him enough for doing that." McMurray, like everyone else, used the closing laps to get an idea of how next week's season-opening Daytona 500 may be won. "It looks like third place is the place to be (on the final lap)," McMurray said. "You know the secondplace guy will try to go for the win. You have to hope the guy in fourth will stay (behind) the guy who's in third." Some drivers liked the racing, and Newman, who for years has railed against the dangers of restrictor-plate races, was in favor of the new style. "I honestly liked the way it separated out," he said. "When you're sitting four rows deep in the middle of three wide, there's nothing you can physically do to make anything any different. When you are in those positions, or those two-car packs, you have a little more versatility to move around. I would rather it be
Woods misses chance Associated Press
Golf roundup ... DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Tiger Woods stumbled in a bid for his first victory in 15 months and Alvaro Quiros won the Dubai Desert Classic with a wild round Sunday that included a hole-in-one and triple bogey. The 70th-ranked Quiros shot a 68 to finish at 11-under 277, one stroke ahead of Anders Hansen (70) and James Kingston (67). Woods had a 3-over 75 to end tied for 20th at 4-under 284. Pebble Beach National Pro-Am PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — D.A. Points captured his first PGA Tour victory and dragged along Bill Murray of “Caddyshack” fame to the pro-am title at Pebble Beach.

He became only the fourth player in the last 20 years to

Red Wings 4, Bruins 2 DETROIT — Todd Bertuzzi scored two goals for the second straight game, lifting the Red Wings to the win.

Blue Jackets 2, Stars DALLAS — Rick Nash scored the goahead goal in the second period. Islanders 7, Sabres 6, OT BUFFALO, N.Y. — Michael Grabner capped a three-goal game by scoring at 2:55 in overtime, leading the injury- and suspension-depleted Islanders to the victory.

the way it was than they way it has been at Talladega, three wide 10 rows deep." And although hysteria often accompanies speeds that creep too close to 200 mph, McMurray said he didn't even notice a difference. NASCAR can change the size of the horsepower-sapping restrictor plates to reduce the speeds, and can do it at anytime before next Sunday's race. "You can't tell the difference if you're going 180 or 220," McMurray said. "I never went 220, but you can't tell the difference in the speed." But it made for an active night for the spotters, who had to coach their drivers around the track until they figured out a strategy. "It's so hard. I've got a headache right now from just trying to be strategic," Hamlin said. At one point, Jeff Gordon sarcastically radioed his team his take on the race. "I figured it out," he said. "It’s like playing chess on the edge of a cliff with the wind at 50 mph.”

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Daytona International Speedway is asking for a moment of silence on the third lap of the Daytona 500 as a tribute to the late Dale Earnhardt. Earnhardt was killed in an accident on the last lap of the 2001 Daytona 500. The speedway considered various ways to mark the 10-year anniversary of Earnhardt's death. "We felt the appropriate way to honor Dale Earnhardt was in the actual racing," said track president Joie Chitwood. "The best way to appreciate the things Dale did — he was about racing — and how we respect him should be on the track. That to us was a real racing tribute and more appropriate than anything we could have done in the pre-race show." Chitwood said track officials were working with the broadcast partners to go silent on the third lap of the Feb. 20 race. Fans will also be asked to stand and raise three fingers on that lap. The No. 3 will also be painted into the grass at Daytona on Saturday night before the seasonopening race. 2-CAR HOOKUPS NASCAR is considering several technical changes that could limit the two-car hookups that dominated the first race of the season. The exhibition Budwesier Shootout featured a dramatically different style of racing as drivers hooked up in pairs because it was the fastest way around Daytona International Speedway. It was fast — Michael Waltrip at one point topped 206 mph — and a stark contrast from the previous tight pack racing that fans have embraced at Daytona. Teams say ideas being discussed by NASCAR are changes to the cooling systems that would reduce the number of laps two cars can stay hooked together.

4-1 series victory in the first round of last year’s playoffs; they then knocked James and the Cleveland Cavaliers out in the next round. James fled to Miami to join Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade, but the Heat still haven’t been able to beat Boston. “This is classic, typical bigger brothers,” Wade said. “You’ve got to get over the hump. We’re getting closer and closer, but we’re not there yet. It can happen at any time. It can happen in the playoffs.” Bosh scored 24 with 10 rebounds and James had 22 points for Miami, which had won eight in a row. Kevin Garnett scored 19 with seven rebounds and Kendrick Perkins had a season-high 15 points for Boston, which snapped a two-game losing streak. Rondo had 11 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds while bothering James enough to force him into four firsthalf turnovers. “I thought Rondo just willed us the game,” coach Doc Rivers said. “Rondo just took it upon himself that whoever was bringing the ball up he was going to guard and harass. And I thought that changed the game for us.” Pierce had his lowest scoring total since 1999. He said afterward he was bothered by hand and foot injuries and would have an MRI on his left foot Monday.

Uncommon condition has many causes Dear Dr. Gott: My 26-yearold son has been diagnosed with homocysteinemia. It seems that physicians don’t know a great deal about this. I know it is a genetic disease that has something to do with amino acids in his blood. The neurologist who confirmed the disease has told us that he has Marfan-like features (my son is 6 feet 7 inches, 160 pounds and has long limbs). He has had an irregular heart rate for many years that fluctuates from 40 into the hundreds. (His cardioloDR. PETER gist said a lot of people have GOTT this.) His level was 16 at his last blood test. My research states that a normal level is between 3 and 7, but his family doctor (who admits not knowing much about the disease) said 12 could be normal. The neurologist said his count was high. What is this disease and what complications can it cause? He has already had two hospital admissions with severe pain and no feeling in one leg, which is associated with the disease, but no one seems to be able to give us clear answers as to what to do. What, if any, precautions should he take? What impact will this disease have on him? The neurologist warned us that he is at a high risk for stroke, but my research shows many more complications to other organs and lig-
aments. Can you please provide some information about this disease? Dear Reader: Homocysteinemia is an elevation of homocysteine (an amino acid) in the blood. In some cases, genetic mutations may cause it. It can also be the result of, or worsened by, certain medical conditions or medications, as well as nutritional and environmental factors, such as vitamin B or folic-acid deficiency, smoking, coffee consumption and more. People with elevated homocysteine levels are at increased risk of developing blood clots, which can lead to stroke, heart attack, deepvein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism and more. I urge that your son be seen by a geneticist for testing to determine whether his homocysteinemia is caused by a genetic mutation. He may also wish to undergo testing for Marfan syndrome while there. (You can read more about this condition in my previous article online at www.AskDrGottMD.com/fa mily-should-be-tested-formarfan-syndrome.) He should be tested for kidney disease, hypothyroidism, clotting abnormalities and abnormal cholesterol levels. If his blood is clotting abnormally, he may benefit from daily aspirin or a prescription anticoagulant medication, such as warfarin, to reduce the possibility of developing an errant clot. If his cholesterol is elevated, he may require treatment. Niacin, flaxseed oil, omega3 oils, and plant sterols and
stanols are good over-thecounter options. Prescriptions include statins, selective cholesterol absorption inhibitors and others. In the meantime, he should be on a low-fat diet, reduce his coffee consumption, stop smoking (if he does), and consider taking a vitamin B complex supplement. To provide related information, I am sending you copies of my Health Reports “Blood — Donations and Disorders,” “Understanding Cholesterol,” “Coronary Artery Disease” and “Stroke.” Other readers who would like copies should send a self-addressed stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 check or money order per report to Newsletter, P.O. Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 440920167. Be sure to mention the title(s) or print an order form off my website at www.AskDrGottMD.com. Because I continue to re-

Grammys familiar, but surreal for newcomer Welch LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Grammys seem somewhat familiar for Florence Welch, in a surreal sort of way. The namesake of the group Florence + the Machine, Welch told The Associated Press before Sunday’s Grammy Awards ceremony that while she recognized the stage and other elements of music’s biggest show, she had to pinch herself
at times to remind herself it’s real. “I didn’t really expect that I’d be here,” she said. “I’m from south London and now, I’m at the Grammys.” Nominated for best new artist along with her group, Welch will have plenty of opportunities to get acclimated with big stages — she’s scheduled to sing at the Academy Awards on Feb. 27.
Monday, Feb. 14 Look for enterprises or endeavors that are glamorous and/or imaginative in the coming months, because something that possesses these elements will likely produce some big scores. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — It’s wonderful that you want to want to help those in need, but be careful to not bite off more than you can chew and end up jeopardizing your own affairs. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — If you have a slim wallet at the moment, find inexpensive ways to gratify your desires. Don’t deceive yourself into believing that spending lots of money guarantees a good time. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Continually rehashing issues is a sure way to blow things out of proportion, especially if you’re doing so in order to convince someone with whom you don’t agree. You won’t gain a thing. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Unless you allow yourself adequate time to get all your errands done, you’re likely to feel pressured. Be careful, because rushing can cause mishaps and unsavory gaffes. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Rushing about could cause impulsive inclinations that are likely to encourage you to spend far more than you should. Try to be prudent where your finances are concerned. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Should those very same people who usually back you up instead do things that would unintentionally block your path, don’t get all in a dither. Work around their efforts. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — If things don’t go the way you are anticipating, don’t start pointing the finger of blame at someone. Spend your energy rearranging what you can. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Be your own person when it comes to important matters. If you believe that you are right, don’t allow yourself to be pressured into doing things that go against your better judgment Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Because the spotlight is apt to be focused on you, whether you like it or not, be careful not to behave in a manner that could tarnish your image. Your critics will be watching you closely. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Usually you’re pretty good at judging the abilities and limitations of others, and you hang out with those who are capable of bringing about what you want. Currently, not so much, however. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — If you’re too insistent on comparing the trappings of friends against what you have, you won’t be able to see the virtues you possess that totally outweigh theirs. Open your eyes. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — That wonderful quality you have of giving the other guy the benefit of the doubt could be absent at this juncture. If you judge people too harshly, you’ll put limitations on your options. Know where to look for romance and you’ll find it.

Always look at the full deal BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate
Carmen Electra asked, “Is there a rehab center for Coke drinkers? I drink six to eight cans a day.” When the World Bridge Federation joined the International Olympic Committee, players had to obey its drug rules, which restricted caffeine. However, the IOC has relented, accepting that caffeine is not a performance-enhancing drug for a bridge player, as it might be for an athlete; it just helps contestants to stay awake. Today’s deal, though, features not eight cans but eight hearts. How would you plan the play in four hearts? West leads the club ace, and East signals with the queen. The defenders cash two more tricks in the suit, then cast adrift with a spade. Note South’s two-spade rebid. North’s two-heart raise did not guarantee four-card support. So, in case North had only three hearts, perhaps with 1-3-54 distribution, South showed his chunky second suit. North, holding four hearts, was happy to jump to game, knowing that his spade queen was going to be useful. To get home, you need the diamond finesse to work and to find the heart
queen. Stop to count the points — and do not forget that West passed as dealer. If West has the diamond king, you have “seen” 10 points: that king and his top club honors. So, if he also had the heart queen, he probably would have opened the bidding. Therefore, you should play East for the heart queen. Win the spade exit with dummy’s queen, cash the heart ace, and play a heart to your jack. When the diamond finesse works too, all is hunkydory.

WEATHER UNDERGROUND’S NATIONAL WEATHER Another Winter storm will affect the Northeast, but will not bring heavy snow to the area as in past storms. Instead, the main effect of this storm will be the strong wind it will produce in the Northeast as it moves through the area and out into the Canadian Martimes. Several areas will receive a couple inches of new snow, complicating travel in combination with the strong winds. Scattered snow showers are also likely in the Upper Midwest, but this activity will diminish in the afternoon. The strong wind, however, will continue throughout the day. Wind Advisories are in effect for some areas of the Plains and Upper Midwest in anticipation of the strong winds that will blow through the area. In the West, a strong Pacific storm will slam into California, finally bringing an end to the long-standing dry spell that has gripped the state. Rain and high elevation snow will eventually spread through the northern part of the state, with snow falling in the northern Sierra Nevadas in the afternoon and evening. The middle part of the country will be dry, with warmer temperatures spilling into the Plains. The Northeast will rise into the 30s and 40s, while the Southeast will see temperatures in the 60s and 70s. The Southern Plains will rise into the 70s, while the Southwest will see temperatures in the 70s. The Northwest will rise into the 30s and 40s.
