he 38th Annual Southeastern Treeing Walker Dog show is this year, and for the past 25 years the show has been held in Rowan County. Bob Shive, hunt coordinator, recalls ordering his first Treeing Walker dog for $75 from Kentucky in 1964. That started the local breeding effort of the dogs some know as “coon dogs.” The dog breeders don’t come to the Rowan County Fairground each year just for the show, but for the coon hunts at night, too. “The boys up north are snowed in this time of the year, so they come here to do a little hunting,” says Shive, affectionally called the “Godfather of the Show.” President Randy Hall said 42 states and Canada are represented at the show this year. The dogs at the fairgrounds are the top of their breed. Some sell for up to $40,000. Breeding fees start around $300 and go higher with some of the grand champions breed lines. Dual Champion dog owner Brent Graham was offered $10,000 for his dog on Saturday and he just laughed. Vendors line the fairground midway with tents selling supplies and equipment for dogs. Vendors fill the concession booths, selling food to the dog owners. The East Rowan High School athletic department will reap the profits from the food concessions this year. Lee Currens Lexington, Ky., owns the grand champion male dog and comes to the show every year. His dog “Kentucky River Bullet” was the grand champion male last year also. Most of the dog owners are regular visitors to Salisbury for the show and hunts. Photographer Marlo Arp came from Virginia for the show. She travels the dog show circuit producing professional photos of the champion dogs. At the show, arrangements and contacts are made for dog owners to breed their dogs with other champions. Dogs are sold among the owners from all over the country. Southeastern Treeing Walker days continues at 9 a.m. today at the Rowan County fairgrounds, 1580 Julian Road.

More than 25 people from a number of law enforcement agencies took part Thursday in an operation authorities say broke up one of the largest methamphetamine ice rings on the East Coast, and it all began in Rowan County. The two-year investigation resulted in the arrest of three Mexican nationals Thursday. They are accused of transport- SANTANA ing large amounts of cocaine, methamphetamine and marijuana from the Texas-Mexico border to Atlanta, and then to Rowan County. Over a two-year period, undercover officers and witnesses working under the direction of law enforcement bought GONZALEZdrugs in Iredell and CHAVEZ Wilkes counties. The investigators said Salisbury resident Hildeberto Gonzalez-Chavez, 30, also known as “Beetle,” of 122 Cypress Lane, had been supplying the drugs to a customer in Wilkes County for more than 10 years. On Thursday, officers SIERRO-PINEDO said they watched Gonzalez-Chavez meet with another person in China Grove; the two then drove in separate vehicles to 115 Westhaven Way.

Couple who lost child don’t blame midwife BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com
A western Rowan couple who lost their child Jan. 20 after it was stillborn said they don’t blame the midwife, Emily “Amy” Medwin, who was charged Sunday with practicing without a license. Medwin is a family friend, said the couple, who asked not to be identified. The couple said they, like many others, want the law changed to allow certified practicing midwives such as Medwin to be able to practice midwifery in North Carolina. Although many states accept the credentials of certified practicing midwives, only certified nursing midwives may legally practice in North Carolina. Certified nursing mid-

wives must attend nursing school. “We definitely want it changed for the better so they can practice freely just like they can in Virginia,” the mother of the child said. “We’re only one of eight states that deems it illegal and we want to see it changed.” Medwin, 56, of Yadkin County, was charged when Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police investigating a separate case involving her learned that Rowan County authorities had issued an arrest warrant. According to WSOC-TV, Medwin acted as a midwife during a birth in east Charlotte over the weekend, and the baby was rushed to Carolinas Medical Center. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department did not return calls to a Post reporter Friday.

Father, daughter charged in drug raid BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com
ENOCHVILLE — Authorities say they found empty heroin balloons and syringes on the floor beside a child’s toys when they raided a house at 2233 Kenwood Drive on Friday. Now a father and daughter who live at the house face felony drug charges, and the Rowan County Department of Social Services is investigating the conditions in which the child lived. Jeffrey Scott Moss, 49, is charged with trafficking J. MOSS in opium by possession, possession with intent to sell and distribute drugs, and maintaining a dwelling to keep, store and sell controlled substances, all felonies, and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia. He was placed in the Rowan County jail S. MOSS under $100,000 bond. Sarah Katrine Moss, 22, is charged with possession with intent to sell and distribute drugs, possession of

Detectives with the Special Investigations Unit got a search warrant and, with officers from the Kannapolis Police Department, served the warrant Friday morning.

Two neighbors who spoke with the Post but did not want to be identified said they knew something strange was going on inside the home because they saw cars driving in and out of their dead-end road. They said Saturdays were the most popular days, with more than 10 cars parked at a time during the night. One neighbor said what allegedly was taking place at 2233 Kenwood Drive was “very out of the ordinary” for what he called “a very quiet and older, established neighborhood.” “We’re relieved, very relieved,” the neighbor said. “It was very obvious what was going on. “They had a little boy that lived there. He didn’t need to be there in the middle of that. Moose said heroin and prescription pain pills are the most abused drugs in Rowan County. “Heroin is a lifelong addiction,” he said.

RALEIGH (AP) — A national gay-rights organization is giving money to a North Carolina group opposing efforts to get a constitutional amendment on the ballot that would ban gay marriage. The Human Rights Campaign announced a $10,000 grant to Equality North Carolina on Friday — two days after a proposed amendment was filed in the state Senate. Similar measures have gone nowhere for years at the General Assembly. Social conservatives are hopeful it will be voted on now at some point since Republicans have majorities in both chambers.

Former Duke lacrosse player hit with $6.5 million tax lien
why the IRS filed a $6.5 million lien against him. The lien, filed earlier this month in New York City, said Seligmann owed the bill from 2007, the same year the rape charges were dropped against him and he reached an undisclosed settlement with Duke. “It’s a complete mistake, just an outrageous mistake. The IRS is totally off the reservation on this one, they gave no notice and they’re just wrong,” said Richard Emery, a New York-based attorney for Seligmann. Seligmann, Collin Finnerty and Dave Evans were all charged with rape, kidnapping and sexual offense after a March 2006 party. Duke suspended the men, canceled the lacrosse team’s season and forced the coach to resign. The charges against the men were dropped a little over a year later, and the prosecutor who handled the case was disbarred. The former players reached a settlement with Duke in June 2007. Neither the players nor the school have ever released how much the settlement was worth.

CARY (AP) — The town of Cary has asked a Wake County prosecutor and the State Bureau of Investigation to look into a bank hostage’s complaint that he was beaten, cursed and handcuffed by local police when he emerged during the siege. An attorney for the man, 52-year-old Lee Everett, said in a letter to town officials that his client was treated differently than the white hostages taken captive during the Feb. 11 standoff at a Wachovia bank that ended when police fatally shot the hostage-taker, who was also black. “Rev. Everett was treated differently and with unnecessary roughness and violence than the white hostages who were released or remained in the bank when the situation was finally ended shortly after 6 p.m.,” Durham attorney Alan McSurely wrote in the Feb. 20 letter to Cary town attorney Christine Simpson. Everett’s complaint was first reported by WRAL-TV. The complaint says Everett was at the bank to close out the account of his father, who recently died. About 45 minutes after he’d entered the bank, the robber told Everett and the manager they could leave. The manager chose not to leave the two tellers behind and stayed in the bank. According to the letter, Everett put up his hands as he left the bank and said, “I’m a hostage.” The complaint said officers threw him on the ground and yelled obscenities at him.

At 4:45 p.m., Rowan County had 3,686 outages, more than half of Duke Energy’s 6,663 outages for North and South Carolina at the time. By 6 p.m. power had been restored to nearly everyone in Rowan, Duke Energy said. At 4 p.m. at the Food Lion on Mahaley Avenue, employees did the only thing they could during the outage. “Wait on the power to come back on,” store manag-
er Chad Sechrest said. As a precaution, Sechrest called for a refrigerated truck, which stood by in case the power stayed off for more than two hours. Thanks to 30-minute battery back-ups on cash registers, most customers were able to check out when the power failed, Sechrest said. At Catawba College, most classes were done for the day when the power went out, spokeswoman Tonia BlackGold said.
With emergency generators in the Cannon Student Center, the cafeteria could still serve a meal, Black-Gold said.

RCCC leader joins MURDOCK board KANNAPOLIS — Keri Allman, director for the Rowan-Cabarrus Community College R3 Center in Kannapolis, has been appointed to the MURDOCK Study Community Advisory Board. Duke University’s MURDOCK Study is based in Kannapolis at the N.C. Research Campus and named for campus founder and Dole Food Co. chairman David Murdock. The Community Advisory Board provides advice and guidance about the direction Duke should take to ensure the success of the MURDOCK Study in the Cabarrus/Kannapolis community. Goals include recruitment efforts for the MURDOCK Study registry and bio-repository and preparing for future research utilizing data and specimens from the registry and bio-repository. The R3 Center is a leading resource for dislocated workers.
Allman works with major area employers incurring plant closures and layoffs including Freightliner, Philip Morris USA and other, smaller companies. She holds a degree in business administration from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and worked for the N.C. Employment Security Commission before her employment with RCCC. Duke is compiling a large registry of biological samples and data that will enable researchers to apply modern-day technologies to identify linkages within and across major diseases and disorders. Murdock is funding the study with a $35 million gift to Duke. The study name stands for Measurement to Understand the Reclassification of Disease Of Cabarrus/Kannapolis.

Child care workers learn about air quality Catawba College Center for the Environment
Sixteen regional child care health consultants learned about the link between air pollution and health Feb. 9 when Shelia Armstrong, air quality outreach coordinator at the Center for the Environment at Catawba College, spoke to the Central Region’s Child Care Health Consultants’ Association in Burlington. Diane Fleming, child care health consultant through Smart Start Rowan, noted the importance of the information Armstrong shared. “Child care facilities are required by law to abide by specific restrictions on
ozone alert days,” Fleming says. “So this information is important to us because we share that with the child care providers in every facility we serve.” On Code Orange days, state guidelines indicate that children should spend only one hour outdoors between noon and 8 p.m. On Code Red days, the time is reduced to 15 minutes. On Code Purple days, they should not play outside at all. The consultants who attended came from Mecklenburg, Chatham, Orange, Person, Wake, Robeson, Guilford, Alamance, Rowan and Moore counties. Fleming estimates that more than 2,000 child care
facilities in North Carolina have the potential to be impacted by the information Armstrong shared. Guilford, Wake and Mecklenburg counties alone have 500-700 licensed facilities each. “The presentation helped us refocus our attention on the importance of alerting child care providers about the link between air quality and children’s health,” she says. Armstrong stressed the need for child care providers to use the air quality index to guide activity planning on ozone alert days. Subscribing to daily forecast emails at www.EnvironFlash.info,

Local residents had plenty to talk about with N.C. Rep. Harry Warren at his first town hall meeting Friday. Looking at the crowd of about 60 people gathered at the Rowan County Library, Warren asked if anyone else representing the county has held town hall meetings. An audience member answered, “No.” Warren, who is in his first term as a state representative, is the only local politician holding regular public meetings with constituents. Warren said he decided to hold the monthly meetings because he wants to let voters in District 77 know what’s happening in Raleigh, and he wants to get guidance from the public about bills and hear their concerns. The next one is set for March 25 in Cleveland. “You’ll probably get tired of me, because I’m going to be soliciting your input on these bills that are before us,” Warren said. “Also, this is for you to have the opportunity to call attention to issues of local concern that I might not be in touch with.” Sue Herrington, Woodleaf Elementary School principal, asked about a bill Warren
has co-sponsored that would give a tax credit to parents of children who are educated outside of a public school. “I see students who come to me from home schools or poorly run private schools, and there is no accountability,” Herrington said. “Who will hold those folks accountable if we give them tax credits?” Warren said the concern is legitimate and could be helped by linking funding to the student rather than to the school. “What about people who don’t have children?” another audience member asked. “Should they get a tax credit?” The woman went on to ask if this was a good time for this type of bill. Warren said there might be a better time, but it’s moving forward now. Local resident Karla Foster asked about where education lottery funding is going. Warren said 50 percent is supposed to go to prize payments, 7 percent to administrative costs, 8 percent to promoting the lottery and 35 percent to school capital needs. When Foster asked if there is any oversight to see that the money goes to schools, Warren replied, “I’m hoping there soon will be.”

Constitutional cap on tax increases proposed State representatives Fred Steen and Harry Warren have signed on to a bill that calls for a constitutional amendment capping how much the state budget can increase each year. Titled the Taxpayer Bill of Rights, the legislation would, among other things, limit General Fund increases to a formula that takes into account population growth and inflation. Republican Rep. John Blust, one of the bill’s primary sponsors, told N.C. News Network such a measure could
have prevented the current budget shortfall. “This will simply put some brakes on the promises politicians make by spending other people’s money,” he said. If revenues exceed expectations, some money would be put into an emergency fund and the rest returned in tax cuts. The proposed amendment would go to voters if approved in the General Assembly.

Woman forced off I-40, then attacked and robbed A man is wanted on charges that he forced a woman off the road and robbed her on Interstate 40. Two children were in the vehicle at the time, according to the Iredell County Sheriff’s Office. The sheriff’s office said deputies responded to a call from a distraught woman who reported her vehicle had been hit from behind by another vehicle and forced to the side of Interstate 40 near the westbound weigh station in western Iredell County. The victim said that while she was calling 911 a man came up to the driver’s window. When she rolled the window down to hear what the suspect was saying, he assaulted her, reached into the vehicle and then grabbed her purse. The children got out of the vehicle when the attack began and tried to flag down motorists, but no one stopped to help.
The suspect fled, traveling west on I-40 toward Catawba County. Detectives interviewed the victim and gathered enough information to identify a suspect. Warrants were drawn for Wendell Alden Lilly. He is wanted on three counts of asLILLY sault with a d e a d l y weapon, one count of common law robbery, and one count of assault on female by a male over 18. Lilly could be driving a white 2000 Lincoln Town Car with polished wheels. The car may have tinted windows. His last known address was Moravian Falls, but he may be staying in the Statesville area. Investigators ask anyone with information to contact the Iredell County Sheriff’s Office at 704-878-3100.

RALEIGH (AP) — A permanent sales tax hike and state job cuts are both unpopular options for balancing the budget, according to a poll by Elon University researchers released Friday. The survey found that 53 percent oppose making a one penny increase in the sales tax permanent, and that 57 percent say state jobs shouldn’t be cut to help close a projected $2.4 billion budget gap. “It’s been a rough period, and I don’t think people want to see others forced into a position, if they don’t have to be forced into that position, of losing their jobs,” said Elon Poll Director Hunter Bacot. And while both Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue and the Republican leadership in the General Assembly have proposed significantly paring back state spending, the poll found that 58 percent of residents don’t like the idea of across-the-board funding cuts for state programs.

During an outage caused by gusty winds, more than 3,600 Duke Energy customers lost power Friday afternoon, including Rowan Regional Medical Center where a patient was briefly stuck in an elevator. It took Salisbury firefighters about 10 minutes to free the female patient, Capt. H.W. Harkey said. She and a hospital employee became stuck between the second and third floors in tower B when emergency generators affected the elevator’s power supply, said Rick Parker, the hospital’s senior director for professional and support services. Parker said he visited the patient in her room and she was fine. Rowan Regional’s emergency generators powered the older part of the hospital for about 90 minutes. Tower A never lost power, Parker said. The outage, which began at 3:30 p.m. and affected part of Spencer and a large portion of Salisbury including Catawba College, was caused by the failure of two circuits, according to Duke Energy. High winds caused a piece of equipment on a line to break, the company said. Lines from the first circuit fell onto lines from a second

DARTS AND LAURELS
Conservation pays dividends A price on all our heads Laurels to the benefits of land and water conservation, which were highlighted this week in a study by the Land for Tomorrow conservation coalition. Timed to coincide with budget discussions taking place in Raleigh, the study shows why conservation funding is a sound investment. This isn’t simply a matter of preserving “pretty places” but protecting watersheds, enhancing forestry and agriculture, as well as being good stewards of the parks and recreational areas that contribute to the tourism industry. To cite just one statistic in the report, 2009 was a record year for park attendance, with N.C. parks enjoying 14.16 million visits, generating about $1.2 billion in state and local tax revenue. With the state’s budget shortfalls, funding has fallen sharply for the state’s major conservation trust funds — Clean Water Management, Parks and Recreation, Natural Heritage and Agricultural Development and Farmland Preservation. As lawmakers weigh support for these funds, they should not only consider the amounts going out but the economic dividends returned. • • • Dart to a legislative proposal to return overt partisanship to North Carolina’s judicial races. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Jerry Tillman (R-Randolph), would revoke changes made a decade ago when the state removed party labels from ballots for District Court, Appellate Court and the state Supreme Court. Advocates argue that identifying political affiliation can help voters evaluate a candidate’s approach to the law. But lack of information about judicial candidates isn’t a problem. These days, voters have easy access to information about candidates, including campign websites as well as widely distributed voter guides. Judicial candidates who want to flaunt their party bonafides still find ways of doing so. North Carolina’s move toward less partisanship and more public funding of judicial races has served the state well. If you want to apply labels, here’s one to stick on this proposal: Bad idea. • • • Laurels to the final voyage of space shuttle Discovery, which will enter a wellearned retirement upon completion of its current mission. This is the final chapter of the space-shuttle era, with Endeavor and Atlantis scheduled to soar aloft for the last time over the next few months. The 30-year shuttle program has produced great leaps forward in space exploration — ferrying astronauts to the space station and carrying the Hubble telescope aloft, for instance — as well as suffering tragic setbacks. Once back on planet Earth, Discovery will probably end up at a museum. The Smithsonian is a likely destination, where the shuttle might share space with the 1903 Wright Flyer that made history at Kitty Hawk.
Common sense
(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)
Do not cut the bough you are sitting on. — Russian proverb
Moderately Confused
hat’s your story? How did you get your start? Recently I spoke at a conference in Spartanburg, S.C., for First Steps, a program that aims to help preschool teachers prepare children for school. It is daunting, not to mention arrogant, to speak to a gathering of people for whom you have so much respect and admiration. To me, there is no higher, more important or more demanding calling than helping children get a good start in life. I say this from experience, both as a mother SHARON of three and as RANDALL someone who once spent an entire summer doing day care, filling in for a friend who was taking a break to have a baby. My youngest child was then 3 years old. Each morning, as parents brought children up the walk, he’d stick his head out the door and yell, “Go home!” That 3-year-old now teaches third grade and has a 6-monthold child of his own. Which only affirms my long-held belief that God has both a sense of justice and a sense of humor. What do you say to a group of professionals who know more than you will ever know about caring for children? I told them to take care of themselves. People who are good at taking care of others aren’t always good at taking care of themselves, but it’s important that they at least try. A lot of heads were nodding. I don’t know if they were nodding in agreement or just nodding off, but I took it as a good sign. After the talk, I led a workshop called “Reading and Writing and Changing the World.” We talked about reading, how it changes a child’s world in ways other things cannot. Then I gave them a writing assignment: Tell me your story, I said, to the age of 6, by answering the following: 1. What’s your first memory? I was 2 years old, sitting on my tricycle on my grandparents’ patio, wearing a red sweater, brown pants and black Mary Janes. My hair was red, curly, tangled. Sky was blue, air was cool, sun felt warm on my face. It was autumn, leaves were falling. I watched them swirl, red and yellow, on the breeze. Then I heard footsteps, looked up and saw my daddy coming to get me. And I was happy. 2. What was your favorite book/song/story/TV show? “Uncle Remus”/”Jesus Loves Me”/ any story I ever heard/”The Howdy Doody Show.” 3. What sight/sound/taste/ touch/smell do you recall best? Thunderstorms/train whistles/ biscuits/bee stings/the back of my baby brother’s neck. 4. What was (a) the meanest and (b) scariest thing you did? When I was 4, I (a) hid my Aunt Hazel’s crutches and would not give them back; and (b) made faces at myself in the mirror until I got so scared I hid under the bed and wouldn’t come out. 5. Who was the person(s) who made you feel safe and loved, and how did he or she do that? My mother’s parents and my dad’s mother lit up every time they saw me. They hung on my words; answered my questions; told me stories; read me books; delighted in what delighted me; showed me signs and wonders; defended me against all harm, real or imagined. Growing up, I wanted to be the person they thought I was. I still do. The point of the workshop was to invite participants to write a story about themselves that they can share with a child — one of their own, or one in their care. The point of my telling you about it is to invite you to do the same. Write a story about yourself (using those questions or any others you prefer) and then tell it to a child. If you’re lucky, maybe the child will tell you one in return. Every good story begs another. What’s yours? • • • Contact Sharon Randall at P.O.

ack in the American Wild West, federal and state governments often put a price on the heads of infamous outlaws like Billy the Kid, Jesse James, Sam Bass, Belle Star and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Today, our government is not so selective. It’s seeking to put a price on the head of every American. Not because they’ve robbed a train, but for a different reason that could lead to a very bad end. Various government agencies have come up with formulas for determining how much we are worth. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has set the value of a human life at $9.1 million. It reached this determination while proposing tighter restrictions on air pollution. During the Bush administration, EPA calculated our value at $6.8 million. Was the difference in price caused by inflation? The EPA didn’t say. CAL The Food and Drug AdminTHOMAS istration (FDA) arrived at its own figure for the value of an American life. It says each life is worth $7.9 million. That, too, is an increase from the $5 million value FDA had assigned each human American life in 2008. The agency calculated our value while proposing new and tougher warning labels on cigarettes that include pictures of cancer victims. The Transportation Department — yes, Transportation — put our worth at $6 million while seeking to justify recent decisions to impose regulations the Bush administration had rejected as too costly, such as stronger roofs on cars. It’s nice to know that our government values its citizens beyond what it can extract in taxes. But given the Obama administration’s likely pursuit of health care rationing (Dr. Donald Berwick, a wealth redistributionist who heads the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, is a proponent of rationed care) it is easy to forecast where this could lead should human life be regarded as having only that value placed upon it by government, or an agent of the state. The beauty of our form of government is

that it begins, not with government, but with us: “We the People.” In our Declaration of Independence from Britain, there is a clause that sets us apart from virtually all other nations. Instead of receiving our basic rights, such as the right to life, from a king or despot — as was the case in older cultures and too many modern ones — America’s Founders saw basic rights emanating from “our Creator” and thus, outside the reach of government and bureaucratic tampering.
It’s nice to know that our government values its citizens beyond what it can extract in taxes. Where could a formula for a governmental valuation of human life lead? If government gets to determine our worth, it could lead to government determining when in its judgment we are worthless. It could lead to government deciding that when we are costing the state more than we are paying in taxes, we might be seen as a bottle, package or can, whose “sell by” date has expired. And that would mean the government could regard us as disposable and allow — or force us — to “expire.” Too extreme? “It couldn’t happen here,” you say? All great horrors begin at the extremes and work their way into the mainstream because of moral weakness or exhaustion, or self-regard, or the rejection of (or ambivalence about) certain fundamental truths. Such neglectfulness paves the way for the great inhumanities, which today are studied in schools. They wonder, “how it could have happened” and “why didn’t anyone see this coming?” How and why, indeed? Consider yourself warned. • • • Direct all mail for Cal Thomas to: Tribune Media Services, 2225 Kenmore Ave., Suite 114, Buffalo, N.Y. 14207.

Blessed be the peacemakers Regarding Meg Huffman’s Feb. 15 letter: If you are a Christian woman of faith, then you know and understand that we are to walk by faith and be peacemakers. Love, peace and understanding are what we sought after with what you call my problem, Mr. Cory Barr. I term him mister and not pastor because he requires the church to call him by his worldly name instead of by his spiritual calling. Ms. Huffman, the job that I have attempted to do, in love and peace, is not easy. And, when the government steps in and forces its desires upon a 157-year-old, sovereign, Baptist church congregation, my job becomes almost impossible. You mention the Post and the sheriff doing my job. The record reflects that the sheriff has assisted in preventing me from doing my job and preventing Mt. Zion’s members from freely worshipping their God. And as for the Post, they consider themselves the fourth estate — the light of worldly truth — protecting our first amendment rights. And, at times they are, until that light must shine upon shameful, local government hysterics — such as the “down-low” within the city of Salisbury or the “criminal’s” justice system. Then, the truth sought by the Post will sometimes grow helmets of amnesia, yellow journalistic truth, fact fabrication and slanted reporting — not to set us free, but to maintain the status quo of the first three government estates. And, as for prayer — this is why I

A caring community My wife Therese and I were recently in your city to attend my mother at Rowan Regional Medical Center. On Feb. 17, Mom passed away. The 1½ years prior to her death were spent as a resident of Carillon in Salisbury, where she was cared for by my sister and brother-in-law, Mary and Ted Blanton and their children. During this time we visited your community several times to see my mom and our family and thus have become acquainted with Salisbury. Now, at the conclusion of my mother’s life, Terri and I feel compelled to thank you all on behalf of Mom as well as ourselves and to tell you all what a rare and treasured commodity is Salisbury and by extension those who reside there. For what is a community but its people. Terri and I reside in Louisville, Ky., and would like to think that our community embodies an understanding of gracious Southern hospitality. I must say, however, that if Louisville represents the body of Southern hospitality then Salisbury must surely be the heart and soul. On behalf of our family I wish to thank you one and all for the many kindnesses extended and the loving warmth expressed. Never lose what you have for you are a rare commodity in these days and times. — David & Therese Rutherford Louisville, Ky.

WARREN FROM 3a One audience member asked how much funding for teachers will be used to balance the budget. Another called school administration costs “bloated” and said more of that funding should go to teachers and principals. Warren said education funding needs to go to the classroom first, and he hasn’t spoken with any representative who disagrees. He also said he opposes a provision in Gov. Bev Perdue’s proposed budget that would shift $150.9 million in education costs to counties for worker’s compensation, school buses and non-instructional support. “We can’t balance the budget on the county’s backs — the county didn’t put us in this fix,” he said. “We’ve got to man up in Raleigh and say, ‘We can’t do this anymore’ or, ‘We can’t do this that much anymore.’ ” He said the deficit is looking smaller than it did a few months ago — the $3.7 billion estimate has been reduced to $2.4 billion — but much work remains to balance the budget. Local resident Larry Wright asked if Warren thought the governor would veto the budget in a Republican-controlled General Assembly. Warren said he doesn’t know, adding that Perdue “sounded very Republican” in some parts of her State of the State address. Reducing spending, consolidating government and cutting positions are actions the GOP has advocated for years, he said. Perdue did recently veto

a bill to take back money from several funds in the current budget, saying it hurt economic development. A member of the audience asked about two bills with Warren’s name on them that address illegal immigration. One would prohibit state and local government contracts with contractors who employ illegal immigrants, and it would require contractors to verify their employees’ legal status or work authorization. Warren said contractors would run employees through a free electronic verification program, so it would not have an impact on the companies’ finances or bids. Another bill would prohibit illegal immigrants from attending North Carolina community colleges and universities. Warren said he understands why people don’t want to deny them higher education, but where would they get a job after graduation? American citizens are already competing for scarce job opportunities and spots in colleges. “It’s a difficult situation ... that we cannot address until we close the borders, and the federal government hasn’t done that,” he said. “When we do address it, I believe we should do it with compassion, understanding and the true spirit of the American heart.” In response to a question about annexation reform, Warren said a bill is under development and reform should happen by the end of the session. Involuntary annexation moratoriums have been filed in the meantime. Contact reporter Karissa Minn at 704-797-4222.

SALISBURY — Donald Gray “Moe” Fallin, 69, of Salisbury, was called to His Heavenly Home by God on Thursday, Feb. 24, 2011, at his residence. He was born Aug. 13, 1941, in Danville, Va., the son of the late Ernest Fallin and Algi Freeman Fallin. Donald grew up in Mount Airy and was employed for Pike Electric Company for over 30 years. Through his work, he transferred and made his home in Salisbury in the early 1960s. Salisbury was a place he loved and raised his family until his death. Don was a member of Kannapolis West “A” Church of God and the Visions Sunday School Class. He was very involved in the Young at Heart group at the church and also served as an elder for several years. Donald was preceded in death by his parents; and two siblings, his sister, Treva Fallin Beck, and her husband, Frank, and his brother, Robert “Bobby” Fallin. Those left to cherish his memory include his beloved and loving wife of 49 years, Judy Hensley Fallin; two sons, Gray Fallin and his wife, Amanda, Todd Fallin and his wife, Teresa; mother-in-law Mary Sykes Hensley; four grandchildren, Sean, Greer, Ruby and Eli; a niece, Frankie Hatley and her husband, Dean, of Mount Airy and their daughters Camille Ellis and Mandy Bazemore of Charlotte; brother-in-law Floyd Hensley and his wife, Lou-Ann, of Monroe; and sister-in-law Louise Fallin of Conover.

He loved to garden and to fish, especially off the pier in Avon. He very much enjoyed life and his friends. But most importantly, he loved his savior, Jesus Christ. Service and Celebration: A Celebration Service will be held at Kannapolis West “A” Street Church of God, 2211 W. “A” St., Kannapolis NC 28081 on Sunday (Feb. 27) at 5 p.m. with the Rev.

BILLS FROM 3a also signed on — Steen as a primary sponsor — to a bill that would authorize people with concealed carry permits to take their guns into restaurants and public parks. The title of the act says its aim is to allow people with valid concealed handgun permits “to protect themselves and their families” by taking their guns into eateries and parks. Current law allows local governments to prohibit handguns in public buildings and parks, but the legislation would remove parks from that clause. Originally filed Feb. 15, the bill passed on a first reading in the House and is now in a judiciary subcommittee. Warren is one of four primary sponsors of a bill that would prohibit state employees and teachers from collecting retirement if convicted of a felony while working for the state. Steen and Warren are also sponsoring a bill filed this week that would give school districts more flexibility in setting their calendars. In the Senate, N.C. Sen. Andrew Brock sponsored legislation to exempt district attorneys and assistant district attorneys from the prohibition against carrying concealed handguns in government buildings. Brock also signed on to a bill that would eliminate annual safety inspections for motor vehicles. The law would still require emissions inspections.
cent of respondents disapprove of the job Perdue is doing as governor, with 40 percent expressing approval. The relatively high percentage of people undecided on the question likely shows that residents are watching the wrangling over the budget before making up their minds, Bacot said. “I think they’re reserving judgment until there’s a fullblown engagement with the General Assembly over the budget,” he said.

Health risks from ozone include asthma, acute respiratory infections, long-term lung damage, lung cancer, heart disease and impaired brain development in babies. Children and teens, people over 65, people with existing lung diseases and people who work or exercise outdoors are especially vulnerable to air pollution.

Investigation begins According to a Rowan County search warrant, the investigation began around February 2009 after detectives purchased a large quantity of cocaine. After many purchases, in which the cocaine totals exceeded 4 pounds, the drug dealers started selling methamphetamine to the undercover operatives, and authorities were able to pin down their drug runner and the main source in Georgia. Rowan County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy David Ramsey said the men arrested Thursday have moved “millions and millions”of dollars in drugs, and he said the lab in Georgia was quite a find. “It’s very rare to find (conversion labs),” Ramsey said.
“You don’t get that very often.” Ramsey said Thursday’s crew had been investigating and following GonzalezChavez for the past two years. The operation included the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Customs and Immigration Enforcement; N.C. State Bureau of Investigation; the Rowan, Wilkes, Yadkin and Davie sheriff’s offices; the Mooresville Police Department; and the Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office in Georgia. Ramsey, who was recently appointed chief deputy in Rowan and has a background in narcotics with the Iredell County Sheriff’s Office and SBI, said authorities stayed on Gonzalez-Chavez “hot and heavy” during the investigation. “That family was moving a lot of dope,” Ramsey said. “I was told (Thursday) that Pineda had been operating for about 12 years there (in Georgia) as a major drug distributor. “This was a very significant seizure.” Moose said the arrests could “spider web” into all sorts of cases. “We hope it will lead to more arrests in all of these jurisdictions,” he said. “Ninety percent of the time, we’re taking off the small dealers. If we can get to the source, that’s when it makes the difference. “It took time to get the larger players involved.” Moose said the seizure and dismantling of the meth lab in Georgia should make it difficult to get methamphetamine for a while. “The various smaller dealers that were getting it here are going to have to scramble and get it somewhere else now,” he said.

Wisconsin Republicans move closer to taking away union rights MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Republicans in the Wisconsin Assembly took the first significant action on their plan to strip collective bargaining rights from most public workers, abruptly passing the measure early Friday morning before sleep-deprived Democrats realized what was happening. The vote ended three days of debate in the Assembly. But the political standoff over the bill — and the monumental protests at the state Capitol against it — appear far from over. The Assembly’s vote sent the bill to the Senate, but minority Democrats in that house have fled to Illinois to prevent a vote and say they won’t return unless Republican Gov. Scott Walker agrees to discuss a compromise. The governor said Republicans had no intention of backing off the main tenets of the bill.

President Barack Obama said Bernard shares his and first lady Michelle Obama’s vision of the White House as a place that “celebrates our history and culture in dynamic and inclusive ways.” Bernard, who is gay, said he was deeply humbled to be joining the White House staff. “I have long admired the arts and education programs that have become hallmarks of the Obama White House and I am eager to continue these efforts in the years ahead,” he said through the White House.

Shutdown not in plans as House Republicans detail planned cuts WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans detailed a proposal to slash $4 billion in federal spending as part of legislation to keep the government operating for two weeks past a March 4 deadline. They urged Senate Democrats to accept their approach and avoid a government shutdown. Democrats said they were encouraged that the two sides appeared to be narrowing the gap on possible spending cuts, but warned against Republican efforts to force their position on Congress. “A government shutdown is not an acceptable or responsible option for Republicans,” House Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia said in a conference call where he and other Republicans promoted their plan for avoiding a shutdown, which would be the first since 1996.

BENGHAZI, Libya (AP) — Protesters demanding Moammar Gadhafi’s ouster came under a hail of bullets Friday when pro-regime militiamen opened fire to stop the first significant anti-government marches in days in the Libyan capital. The Libyan leader, speaking from a Tripoli fort, told supporters to prepare to defend the nation. Witnesses reported multiple deaths from gunmen on rooftops and in the streets shooting at crowds with automatic weapons and even an anti-aircraft gun. “It was really like we are dogs,” one man told the Associated Press. He said many people were shot in the head, with seven people within yards of him cut down in the first wave. Also Friday evening, troops loyal to Gadhafi attacked a major air base east of Tripoli that had fallen into rebel hands. Tanks attacked the Misrata Air Base, succeeding in retaking part of it in battles with residents and army units who had joined the anti-Gadhafi uprising, said a doctor and one resident wounded in the battle on the edge of opposition-held Misrata, Libya’s third-largest city, about 120 miles from the capital. Meanwhile, the White House announced sweeping sanctions on Libya’s government and temporarily abandoned its embassy in Tripoli as a final flight carrying American citizens departed from the war-ravaged capital.

Authorities said they found 1.75 pounds of methamphetamine ice, the most addictive and potent form of methamphetamine, in the vehicle. That was estimated to have a street value of about $100,000. Gonzalez-Chavez was arrested and charged with trafficking more than 400 grams of methamphetamine. A man identified as Gonzalez-Chavez’s partner, 22-yearold Edgar Santana of Duluth, Ga., was driving about a mile ahead of Gonzalez-Chavez, and authorities stopped him. Rowan County Sheriff’s Office Detective Lt. Chad Moose said Santana had delivered the methamphetamine to Gonzalez-Chavez. Santana was charged with trafficking more than 400 grams of methamphetamine. “These guys get the big shipments in and then they deliver them,” Moose said. Investigators uncovered additional information that led to them to the identity of the suspected supplier, 33-yearold Cesar Sierro-Pineda, of Duluth, Ga. Rowan County authorities issued a warrant charging Sierro-Pineda with conspiracy to traffic methamphetamine. He was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and Gwinnett County authorities at his apartment complex in Duluth, Ga. Investigators discovered a methamphetamine ice conversion lab in Sierro-Pineda’s apartment. Authorities evacuated the entire building. One of the largest ever found, the lab contained about 5 gallons of liquid methamphetamine, enough to make 44 pounds of methamphetamine ice with a wholesale value of more than $1 million, authorities said. The federal agents also charged two more people found in the apartment. Ricky Morris, who lives a few houses down from Gonzalez-Chavez on Cypress Lane in Rowan County, said he was shocked to hear about the charges against his neighbor, who always seemed friendly.

MOUNT AIRY — How did Salisbury Salisbury 47 coach Chris N. Surry 43 McNeil describe the Hornets’ 47-43 win at North Surry in Friday’s sectional final? “One word,” he said. “Wild.” The first-year coach, along with his players, was short on words and long on breaths after the first scare the Hornets had received since dropping their first game against Butler. Salisbury sludged through a 30-percent (16 of 53) night shooting from the floor and had a season-low in points against the worthy Greyhounds, who had the ball down a point with 26 seconds left. Apparently, the ninth straight sectional is the hard-
est. After winning both of its first two p l a y o f f games by an average of 42.5 points, Salisbury got a run for its MCNEIL regional berth. “Every once in a while you have to play a team that can give you a run for your money,” Ayanna Holmes said. “Not everything’s going to be easy.” Holmes, a senior guard playing in what was almost her last game, only had six points but made a pair of clutch plays in the final minute.

Connor Edwards is greeted with a hug by Jarvis Morgan and a yell by assistant K.P. Parks.
KANNAPOLIS — The scoreboard clock said W. Rowan 69 Home 68, Guest NWC 68 66, there were 2.3 seconds left, and a gym with no vacant seats was shaking to its foundations. Everyone stood as a referee handed the ball to a guest — West Rowan’s B.J. Sherrill, sturdy and impassive as he prepared to make the inbounds pass from underneath the Northwest Cabarrus hoop, with 6-foot-5 Ray Kingston waving two long arms in his face. Standing 25 feet from Sherrill, his cousin, Domonique Noble, made eye contact further up the line with Connor Edwards, the Falcons’ designated shooter. “I nodded back at Domonique,” Edwards said. “It was like, ‘The play’s gonna work. Pass it to me, and I’ll try my best to make it.’ ”
Noble, Edwards and coach Mike Gurley knew Northwest was going to be focused on West’s brilliant guard Keshun Sherrill. The Trojans would have 10 eyes on Keshun, probably none on Edwards, who had barely played. “But Connor can shoot,” Gurley said. “And he knows his job .” Sherrill completed his pass to Noble near midcourt, and Noble didn’t make a desperate heave. He flicked a strike ahead to Connor, who turned and let fly in one motion from the left wing. Time expired with the ball in the air. It was good all the way. It swished.

Bobcats win
Cole, Stillman lead ’Canes Associated Press
CHARLOTTE — Stephen Jackson Bobcats 110 scored 30 Kings 98 points, D.J. Augustin added 23 and the undermanned Charlotte Bobcats began life without Gerald Wallace by beating the Sacramento Kings 110-98 on Friday night. A day after trading the franchise’s only All-Star and second-leading scorer to Portland, the Bobcats pulled away midway through the fourth quarter despite dressing only eight players. Gerald Henderson, replacing Wallace in the starting lineup, scored 10 of his 21 points in the final period. Kwame Brown, Charlotte’s only available center, added 12 points and 13 rebounds. Samuel Dalembert had 18 points and 10 rebounds for the Kings, who fell to 2-4 on a seven-game road trip that’s in-
cluded discussions about the team’s possible relocation next season. It was a strange sight at Time Warner Cable Arena when Wallace wasn’t introduced last with much fanfare when the starting lineups were announced. A former Kings benchwarmer, Wallace went from an expansion draft pickup to the face of the Bobcats and the last original member of the 7-year-old franchise. Owner Michael Jordan sent him west to cut costs and begin a rebuilding effort despite Charlotte still being in playoff contention in the Eastern Conference. The Bobcats got two firstround picks, center Joel Przybilla, forward Dante Cunningham and forward Sean Marks, who will be waived. Przybilla, Cunningham and D.J.

IndyCar announced last week that it will allow up to five qualified drivers from outside the series a chance to win $5 million if they're able to win the race. Allmendinger, Juan Pablo Montoya and Tony Stewart have been mentioned as drivers who might give it a try because of their backgrounds in open-wheel racing.

The NASCAR notebook ... AVONDALE, Ariz. — Daytona 500 winner Trevor Bayne is still working on finding sponsors for his Sprint Cup and Nationwide cars. The 20-year-old driver says he’d like to add both races at Talladega, but doesn’t have anything lined up. He also says Friday his car would have a lot of open spaces on it this weekend at Phoenix International Raceway because the Wood Brothers are still trying to line up more sponsors. Bayne is scheduled for 18 Sprint Cup races, but would like a full season. His Nationwide car doesn’t have a sponsor. The youngest driver to win the Daytona 500, Bayne says he’s had a chaotic week, including calls from President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, TV appearances and meeting actress Pamela Anderson, who told him he reminded her of her son. Bayne’s first post-Daytona weekend didn’t start off well. Early in Friday’s practice session at Phoenix, the front end of his No. 21 car locked up, sending him careening into the wall off Turn 3. The practice session was redflagged as a tow truck came out to take Bayne’s car off the track, and the team pulled out his backup from the hauler.

Luck said Friday he has yet to even sign an insurance policy that could protect him for up to $5 million if he is injured, even though his parents keep pestering him to do so. With spring practice already in full swing, Luck believes the Cardinal can win the inaugural Pac-12 title next season despite a coaching shake-up and new wide receivers.

1A SECTIONAL FINALS
Hargrave was big BY JOSH HOKE sports@salisburypost.com
MONROE — North Rowan coach Andrew Mitchell knows exactly who turn to when his team needs a spark. He also knows the risks involved with motivating forward Javon Hargrave. The Cavaliers, trailing 16-15 at halftime and unable to establish an inside game, needed the 6-foot-3, 260-pound forward to emerge as a force in the second half of Friday’s 44-40 win. To get Hargrave going, Mitchell knew he’d have to get a little heated in the locker room. “Sometimes it takes me risking my life by getting on him and making him mad for him to become a bull like that,” Mitchell said with a smile. “I had to get up in him a little bit, and he’s a big guy to be fussing at him like that. “But once you get on him, I love the way he responds.” Hargrave had just two points and two rebounds at halftime, but the S.C. State football signee quickly emerged as a dominant force in the second half. In the final 4:27 of the third quarter, Hargrave scored 10 points. His three-point play following a putback at the 4:27 mark put North Rowan up 22-21. He converted a layup, had another three-point play on a putback and then hit two free throws, giving the Cavaliers a 31-21 lead. He finished the second half with 10 points and 10 rebounds. “Step up and be a senior leader,” Hargrave said, explaining the root of Mitchell’s halftime motivation. “I get a little more energy when I get yelled at. Hargrave is nearly averaging a double double, but he wasn’t much of a factor in the first half. Once he started to take over, the undersized Redhawks had few options to stop him. “The officials let him play and that benefitted them,” Monroe coach Johnny Sowell said. “We knew what we were facing. We knew about him. “We had to get another shooter in there, so that left him along with the other [interior player] in there to tap the ball around. That played to their advantage.” After connecting on just 1-of-7 3-point attempts in the first half, North Rowan wanted to establish an inside presence early in the second half. That plan started and ended with Hargrave. “Javon was a big help for us,” North’s Jordan Kimber said. “We knew he could have a big game because he was the biggest guy on the floor. We just tried to get the ball to him a little more. “It’s easy to motivate Javon. All you have to do is make him made and he comes out even stronger.”

Michael Bowman heads to the basket.
Andrew Mitchell, whose team scored just four points on five shot attempts in the first quarter. “Even before we hit the floor we as coaches felt like we weren’t focused. It didn’t feel right.” It didn’t take long for the Cavaliers to find their groove. They cut a seven-point, firstquarter deficit to one by halftime, led by seven after three quarters and held off a late Monroe rally. North Rowan took the game over early in the second half, when forward Javon Hargrave established the first and only post presence of the game. He scored 10 of his 12 points in the third quarter, allowing the Cavaliers to take control. Outsized and unable to create any offense in the paint, Monroe relied on its perimeter players. Guard Jamison Crowder, a Duke football commitment, scored 31 points, including four secondhalf 3-pointers, but only three of his teammates scored. After shooting 31 percent in the first half, North Rowan was 9-of-16 in the second half. Monroe committed 15 turnovers and shot 8-for-22 after the break, hitting just 4of-15 3-point attempts.
Unable to connect from the perimeter, Monroe couldn’t score with any consistency outside of Crowder’s deep jumpers and dribble drives. “The bottom line is we had open shots and we didn’t make them,” Monroe coach Johnny Sowell said. “They’re a one seed. We’re a one seed. That’s the kind of game you are going to get. “We’ve got two veteran guards … and our scorers are our guards. You look at the stats. Those guys have carried us for four years.” Crowder carried his weight, but fellow guard Qwadarius Duboise scored just three points, connecting one just 1-of-11 3s for Monroe. His struggles epitomized those of all the Redhawks. North Rowan certainly played a role in their problems. Outside of North Rowan’s interior production early in the second half, neither team effectively solved the other’s zone defense. However, the Cavaliers began to press with more frequency as the game progressed, forcing turnovers and keeping Monroe from finding its rhythm. North Rowan held Monroe without a point for the final six minutes of the second quarter, ending the first half with an 11-0 run to cut the Redhawks’ lead to 16-15. The Cavaliers took a 10-
point lead late in the third quarter, but Monroe trailed just 32-29 early in the fourth when North Rowan flipped the momentum. Jordan Kimber drained a pullup 3-pointer, North Rowan forced a turnover and then Samuel Starks had a transition layup in the course of 20 seconds. “It was a big shot,” Kimber said. “We hadn’t scored in awhile. It was hard for us to get the ball in the bucket. When I hit that 3, it gave us a lot of breathing room.” Even though it went it, it was not the shot attempt the North Rowan coaching staff was looking for on that position. “That’s one of those shots where you say, ‘No, no, no,’” Mitchell said. “Then it goes in and you say, ‘Good shot.’ That was a big shot. Sometimes 3s are like dunks for us.” Monroe eventually cut the deficit to 42-40 and nearly forced a turnover in the final 15 seconds, but North Rowan’s T.J. Bates collected a loose ball and nailed two free throws to ice the win. The Cavaliers hit 10-of-13 free throws in the second half.

It centers on a couple of high-rise guys who play the game above the rim, senior Alex Weant and junior Jar- DAVID rett Rivens. Ask any- SHAW one who witnessed the Hornets’ sectional-final win against visiting Cuthbertson 76-59 Friday and you’ll hear a common refrain: Salisbury’s big men made a big difference. “We came out here and played the game we wanted to,” first-year coach Justin Morgan said. “We did what we talked about. And Jarrett and Alex — they complimented each other. They played well together. When you’ve got two big guys on the same page like that, being unselfish and doing whatever it takes to help the team, you’re in pretty good shape.” So are the rest of the Hornets. They’re headed to next week’s regionals for the first time in 19 years, thanks in no small part to fuel-injected performances from cerebral seniors Darien Rankin and Corey Murphy, each of whom played a good game upstairs and seemingly willed SHS into the winner’s circle. But just as significant — and perhaps more so — was the yeoman’s work of Weant and Rivens, both with and without the basketball. Weant converted what may have been the game’s most important basket, a dribble-drive layup from the left baseline just seconds after the guests pulled within 51-50 early in the fourth quarter. “I remember that play but more than that, this whole game was fun,” Salisbury’s post smiled after netting 14 points. “One moment isn’t necessarily memorable, but the whole game was. (Cuthbertson) was definitely a scoring team. They always wanted to score. What do they average, 66 a game? If anything, this was a measure of our defense.” There’s no formula to quantify what Rivens

SAL. BOYS FROM 1B the Cavaliers were within 57-55. But Rankin sank a free throw and Romar Morris hit a spectacular scoop for a 60-55 lead and the Hornets began pulling away. Cuthbertson had plenty of chances, missing five straight open looks. “We got five or six shots we’d like to get every night down two or three,” Cuthbertson coach Mike Helms said. “They just didn’t go in. There’s nothing you can do about it.” The game was all but over with 1:11 left when Jarrett Rivens bullied inside for a basket and a free throw. He was fouled by Chris Bristow, who was then called for a technical for pulling out his jersey. Rivens completed the and-1 and Rankin hit two free throws for a 67-57 margin. Another key was defense. Morris blanketed Esser, who didn’t score again. “Our whole slew of guards made sure they knew where (Esser) was,” Morgan said. “(He) was a concern all night.” Of Morris, Morgan said, “It’s great to have a kid who is a superstar in football who knows his role and plays defense in basketball.”
the ball into our big men.” Ah yes, the 6-foot-7 Twin Towers. Rivens and Weant combined for 35 points, 21 by Rivens. “We knew that was going to create matchup problems,” Helms said. “We were only decent size in one position. In the first half, we had them with 12 second-chance points and we’re down 11. We can match one but gave up so much size to the other.” Cuthbertson, just a secondyear school, was valiant in its effort to rally, cutting the lead to 51-46 going into the fourth period. “At this part of the season, everyone goes on runs. Everyone has great players who are capable of making 9-point runs,” Morgan said. “We talked before the game to just continue to play hard and don’t slack off.” Deep inside, Morgan probwayne hinshaw/SALISBURY POST ably knew his team would Hornet coach Justin Morgan has the backing of the students. come out on top.

meant to the Hornets in the first half. The 6-foot-7 forward was like a grip-it-andrip-it power pitcher, contributing 15 points and nine rebounds in the first two periods. If Salisbury needed a layup, he’d kiss one off the glass. If there was a loose ball at-large, he’d confiscate it. He played his role with a quiet confidence, at his own pace. “He played his heart out, that’s what he did,” declared CHS senior Mike Cuthbertson, a 6-5 center who averaged close to 14 points-per-outing this winter and spent much of the night butting horns with Rivens. “That’s what made him stand out. I really couldn’t play my regular game because he was always there. I couldn’t fly around. I had to bite the bullet and stay on the ground.” That’s exactly where the Hornets found themselves when push came to shove. When a double-digit halftime lead had been narrowed to one point, Morgan called a pivotal timeout with 7:17 to play. “We talked about weathering the storm” he reported. “Not getting rattled and not doing things that are uncharacteristic of our team. The guys went back out with a lot of fire. I don’t think they were ready for their season to be over.” Apparently not, although they did do something uncharacteristic. They converted 15 of 23 free throws in the last 6:43 and watched their lead swell to 17. “Yeah, we were making free throws tonight,” Weant crowed. “Last Friday that’s why we lost.” A two-point loss in the conference championship game is but a hiccup now — a speed bump on the road to more glamorous prizes. “All week, all everybody’s been talking about is the past,” Rivens said after finishing with 21 points and 12 boards. “In four years this group hasn’t made it past this game. Well, now we have. And all I did was go out there and play all-out and aggressive for my teammates. I played my game.” Because he did, the Hornets have now watched three of their post-season adversaries fall and they’re still standing — anchored, of course, by a couple of big guys.

3A SECTIONAL FINALS
Poise at the nick of time BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com
KANNAPOLIS — There were no tears in Mike Gurley’s eyes, as he gathered his team for what he feared would be the Falcons’ final timeout of 2011, but he definitely felt like crying. “I was thinking it was a shame that it had gotten away,” Gurley said. “Because, my gosh, it had been ours. GURLEY Not ours because we led by 18 early, but ours because we’d been about to go up seven with 52 seconds left.” Now it looked like it was Northwest’s game. Ameer Jackson, the Trojans’ remarkable scorer, had just jack-knifed in an acrobatic follow shot after his own miss from the top of the key, and Northwest had seized its first lead all night at 68-66. As Jackson’s shot fell, the scoreboard clock said 2.7 seconds, and West was fortunate the refs put 2.3 back up there after the clock raced to zeroes and delirious Northwest fans started swarming the court. West had appeared to have things under control at that fateful 52-second mark. Trailing 66-61, Northwest was pressing fullcourt, and B.J. Sherrill’s home-run pass to streaking freshman Devin Parks was slightly overthrown. Parks caught up with the ball at full sprint, controlled it for a split-second, then fell in agony as his leg gave out when he tried to lay the ball in. Northwest got a vicious dunk from Ray Kingston in transition on the other end, the lead was down to 66-63, and Parks, who suffered a hyper-extension, was still down under the hoop. He stayed down five minutes. Nerves frayed. Sweat cooled. The gym swayed with noise. Then Jackson hit a 3 for 66-66. After West turned it over, Jackson put NWC on top. “I think we were in shock mode,” Gurley said. But in that last time out, the Falcons regained their poise. They have a length-ofthe-court, last-shot play. They practice it diligently. “Yeah, we’ve got a play,” Gurley said. “We work on it all the time. The only problem is it had never worked.” This time it worked. Sherrill inbounded to Domonique Noble near halfcourt, and Noble didn’t panic. He knew there was still time to pass ahead to shooter Connor Edwards. Edwards calmly turned and swished the 3-pointer that won the game 69-68 and sent the Falcons to the regional. “I sent it up there with a little prayer,” Edwards said. “And it felt really good.”

but just a hair short. “It’s a play I got from Eddie Payne (who played at Wake Forest and coached Gurley at Belmont Abbey),” Gurley explained. “It’s a pretty good play, but it had never worked for us.” It only has to work once, and it provided an amazing conclusion to an amazing game. West blitzed the Trojans (199) with speed and muscle early. B.J. Sherrill hit three quick 3s, Northwest shot a brutal 3-for-18 in the first quarter, and the Falcons actually led 25-7. “We were really rebounding strong and we were keeping (Northwest star) Ameer Jackson out of the lane,” Gurley said. Northwest coach Daniel Jenkins said his guys tried too hard. “This game was the talk of the town — just so much buzz,” Jenkins said. “It was like every one of our guys wanted to come out there and hit them with a dagger at the start. We’re jacking 3s like crazy and not making any. At the same time, I’m coaching really special guys. I never doubted that we’d rally back into it. By halftime, West still led 3623, but the tide was turning. “We jumped out quick, but that’s a great team with tremendous length,” B.J. Sherrill said. “We never expected to blow them out. We knew they’d make a run and we knew we’d have to stick together when they did.” By the third quarter, Northwest’s Kingston was swatting shots and David Broome and Corey Seager were drilling 3s. West’s lead slid to single digits, and the Trojans were gambling defensively, swarming and mak-

When Keshun Sherrill got a stickback with just over a minute left, the Falcons led 6658, but Northwest scored the next 10 points, including a gametying 3-pointer by Jackson with 33 seconds to go. Jackson put the Trojans ahead by following his own miss with 2.7 seconds left, but the Falcons rescued their season with Edwards’ dramatic clutch shot. Edwards exited the locker room to a standing ovation from an army of West fans and managed a smile and a wave. “That’s not a very emotional young man,” Gurley said with a grin. “But he comes through with some very big shots.” WEST ROWAN (69) — K.

New Broncos coach Fox chooses Orton, not Tebow fore a daylong meeting with player agents. When asked to characterize the last seven days of negotiations with a federal mediator, Smith declined to answer. He said "thanks" and briskly walked away. Both sides have abided by mediator George Cohen's request to keep quiet about negotiations, even as the league and union have spent the past two days going over contingency plans and possible lockout rules. The union took the unusual step of putting Tom Condon, Ben Dogra, Drew Rosenhaus and Joel Segal side-by-side in a show of support for the players. COMBINE INDIANAPOLIS — Auburn's Cam Newton has taken the unusual step of choosing to performing the complete battery of quarterback workouts at the NFL Combine. Missouri's Blaine Gabbert isn't conceding anything to him.
Rollins hopes to return to form The baseball notebook ... CLEARWATER, Fla. — On a half-field in front of the entrance to the Philadelphia Phillies' practice complex, there was Jimmy Rollins fielding grounders with a group of minor leaguers and no-name guys. It was the first day of spring training and regulars weren't due to report for another five days. Rollins has always been among the last to arrive to camp. The threetime All-Star shortstop usually swaggers into the clubhouse a day before full squad workouts begin. Not this year. The former NL MVP is coming off a subpar season. He's also entering the final year of a $46.5 million, sixyear contract. That's enough motivation to show up early. So was the snow and cold weather back in Philadelphia. WHITE SOX Chicago White Sox pitcher Mark Buehrle will take the hill on Opening Day for the ninth time in his career
Buehrle is 3-1 with a 3.38 ERA in his eight career Opening Day starts. RANGERS Adrian Beltre's debut with his new team will have to wait a short while. Kendry Morales has reason to celebrate: He should be ready for the start of the season. Beltre, the Rangers' new third baseman, will miss at least the first week of spring training games because of a strained right calf that is still bothering him. ANGELS Angels manager Mike Scioscia said Morales should be ready to play by opening day. The slugger's 2010 season ended when he broke his leg while jumping on home plate to celebrate a gameending grand slam. Tim Lincecum had butterflies, admittedly nervous taking the field with the added hype as a World Series winner. Fittingly, the World Series champion Giants won a familiar one-run decision with a 7-6 victory against the Arizona Diamondbacks in the
majors' first spring training game. The champs took the field to roaring cheers at Scottsdale Stadium, where a logo painted on the grass behind home plate reads "2010 WORLD CHAMPIONS." TWINS Twins outfielder Michael Cuddyer could miss the next few days because of a painful wart on his left foot. Cuddyer tried to treat the wart himself with medication this winter, but it ended up getting infected. INDIANS Cleveland Indians outfielder Trevor Crowe has soreness in his right rotator cuff, an injury that could cost him a chance to make the opening-day roster. Crowe hasn't been able to participate in workouts and has been working with the team's training staff to strengthen the shoulder. He's competing for a backup spot, but it's unclear when he will be ready to play. The Indians open exhibition play Sunday against Cincinnati.
Hornet girls in familiar spot BY RYAN BISESI rbisesi@salisburypost.com
MOUNT AIRY — Eight is enough, but Salisbury’s greedy. The Hornets’ ninth consecutive trip to the regionals was its hardest-earned victory of the season. It certainly wasn’t a beauty pageant as Salisbury’s off night from the floor resulted in the Hornets misfiring on 17 of its final 19 shots. Foul trouble was inevitable with a North Surry that stood tall and matched its guests physically in the paint, causing for some aggressive play. None of which was better displayed than with 1:35 left in the third quarter when a referee approached the paint requested players nicking and grinding for position on an inbounds pass “knock it off.â€? “I guess they were trying to push our bigs out,â€? Ashia Holmes said. “But we’re not going to let that happen.â€? Holmes’ night ended on the bench as she fouled out with just over a minute left. “I’m trying to go out with a bang in my senior year,â€? she said. • The ball hadn’t ever been tipped, and already Brielle Blaire had done something wrong. Call it a freshman mistake or an attire-re-
lated error, but Blaire’s dark undershirt forced her to march to the locker room and change after teams had already walked out to midcourt for the opening tip. It was an appropriate precursor for what was an unconventional evening. “They told me if you wear BLAIRE your away jersey, red or black, you can wear your dark-colored under armour shirt,â€? Blaire said. “I get up there and they’re telling me something different. Every couple of games, I have a problem with my shirt, so I’m just going to get a red one next year. Then they can’t mess with me any more.â€? Isis Miller had to start the game in Blaire’s place. Blaire was one of two Salisbury players in double digits with 12 points. • Salisbury senior Jessica Heilig was assisted off the floor by assistant coach Mallory Hodge with 6:33 left in the game after rolling her ankle while battling for a rebound. “When she was going for a rebound, a young lady undercut her and she rolled her ankle,â€? McNeil said. “We have about four or five days where we can rest her up and get ready for Greensboro.â€?

The NFL notebook ... Kyle Orton didn’t want to return to Denver next season as Tim Tebow’s backup. He’s getting his wish: his name will be atop the Broncos depth chart at quarterback whenever players reconvene following the league’s labor negotiations. New coach John Fox said Thursday that Orton is his starting quarterback, not the popular but unpolished Tebow. That could change in camp, of course, but Tebow has a long way to go to catch up to Orton, a sixth-year pro who is a better pocket passer if not as bruising a runner. Fox’s comments at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis echoed remarks made by new football chief John Elway at the Super Bowl. “I don’t think we’ll really figure it out un-
til we start competing,� Fox said. “It’s a group of three that are very capable. Right now Kyle Orton is our starter. We have a young guy, high draft pick, in Tim Tebow who got his feet wet last year toward the end of the season. And then shoot, Brady Quinn I’m looking forward to seeing.� LABOR TALKS INDIANAPOLIS — The NFL Players Association doesn't want a lockout. It wants a deal. On Friday, union executive director DeMaurice Smith and four of the league's most prominent agents put on a unified front at the league's annual scouting combine. The hope is the union and the NFL can agree on a new collective bargaining agreement before the current one expires next week. If they can't, a lockout could begin next Friday.

FROM 1B jump ball on North’s next-to-last possession with 7.7 seconds left. “Those were really big plays,� exclaimed her sister, Ashia Holmes. North Surry, whose only losses during the regular season came to Bishop McGuinness, led 16-14 after the first quarter. Kristina Rumples hit free throws to pull the Greyhounds within one on two occasions in the fourth quarter. “Very few people were giving us any kind of a chance,� North coach Shane Slate said. “I’m extremely happy with the way we played. That’s a very good basketball team over there.� Up 42-41 with 3:19 left, Blaire muscled in a shot in the paint for the final field goal. Despite getting a lift from Ashia Holmes fouling out with 1:01 left, North missed its next three free throws. Salisbury didn’t cash in, as Blair and Ayanna Holmes misfired on consecutive one-and-one’s. Morgan Bunker hit a pair with 32.6 seconds left and Salisbury turned the ball over on the inbounds play as Greyhound fans went into a frenzy. North’s Morgan Midkiff received the ball in front of her own bench and faced a doubleteam that included Ayanna Holmes, who slapped her mitts on the ball to force a tie in possession with the arrow pointing the Hornets’ way.
“We saw their guards were getting tired,� Holmes said. “Once you turn up the heat and the pressure, they start to turn over the ball.� After Ayanna Holmes was fouled and sunk a free throw, Salisbury (24-1) came up with another clutch swipe. This time Olivia Rankin clutched AS. HOLMES an errant pass at halfcourt with 3.1 seconds left. She hit both free throws to put the game out of reach. “We got another W and it’s just a blessing we’re still alive,� McNeil said. Salisbury misfired on 12 shots in a row in the second half and had an uncharacteristic 17 turnovers, although it RANKIN forced 21. Ashia Holmes had a gamehigh 14 points. Blaire, a stud freshman, gave Salisbury a 27-22 lead on a 3-point play with 1:47 left in the first half. She also handed the Hornets their biggest edge at 30-24 moments later. North (23-3) was led by Midkiff, who had 12 points. SALISBURY (47) — As. Holmes 14, Blaire 12, Rankin 9, Ay. Holmes 6, Heling 4, Miller 2. NORTH SURRY (43) — Midkiff 12, K.

taught and wrote in the field of interpersonal and organizational communication and started the internship program there. She departed NCSU to apply her understanding of organizational communication theory to Kindermusik International. That move caused her some consternation. “When you are in the middle of change, it is scary and there is fear,” she said, while explaining that she trusted her mind, heart and body in making the choice. While serving as a vice president at Kindermusik, Anderson changed because she learned some valuable lessons about interpersonal and organizational communication while attending the Servant Leadership School. Her concept of leadership changed and she herself changed as a leader. “It was a paradigm shift from power over, control over to leadership that is interdependent and relational,” she recalled. “Leadership became a circle where all the voices were heard and the leader’s job shifted from precariously perched to us all being led together.” Problems at Kindermusik, along with the lessons she learned at the Servant Leader-
ship School, made Anderson and her CEO there open to trying something different. “We started a journey at Kindermusik and it was about understanding the giftedness of each other and engaging each other,” she said. The 100 employees at Kindermusik were asked for their opinions on “ five things you think we need to work on.” That query led to suggestions that improved productivity and profitability at the company and led to awareness on Anderson’s part about just how much individuals have to offer. One Kindermusik employee even came up with a new tag line for the company: “A good beginning never ends.” “Always, servant leadership is about awakening the slumbering giant in us and the slumbering giftedness in others,” she explained. Anderson concluded her remarks with this admonition: “Don’t ask what the world needs; ask what makes you come alive. What the world needs are people who come alive.” As director of The Servant Leadership School, Anderson writes grants, teaches, manages

and markets a program of classes, trainings and workshops. She also works to build collaborative partnerships between the school and other area organizations. She has also authored several books, including “Hairpin Turn: Trusting Your Heart’s Direction in Leadership and Life,” “Ruthie Stories: Recapturing the Girl Left Behind” and “Connecting with Your Aging Parents through Story: 7 Steps toward a Last Chance at Love.” She and husband, Phil Pratt, a videographer and massage therapist, have a college-age daughter and make their home in Greensboro, N.C. Catawba’s Lilly Center for Vocation and Values is directed by Dr. Kenneth W. Clapp, senior vice president and chaplain. The Center was established in 2003 and funded with a $2 million grant the College received from the Lilly Endowment, Inc. Previous notable speakers who have participated in annual Lilly Colloquia include Leonard Pitts, Martin Marty, David Bornstein, Sharon Parks, Mackey Austin, Joe Ehrmann and Sarah Susanka. The Lilly Center seeks to help students and members of the larger community determine values for their lives and allow those values to guide decisions relative to the vocations they choose and the priorities they set. Critical to this process is the recognition that as the children of God all are called to use the talents and gifts that have been provided, not only for the realization of their own capabilities, but in service to others and in making the world a better place.
Hood Theological seminary dedicates new fountain Reflecting Pool and Fountain to honor Bishop Joseph and Dr. Dorothy S. Johnson Dr. Albert Aymer, President of Hood Theological Seminary, has announced plans by the Board of Trustees for the dedication of a newly installed reflecting pool and fountain located near the center of campus. The event will take place on March 3 at 4 p.m. during which time the granite reflecting pool and cascading fountain will be named in honor of Bishop Joseph Johnson and Dr. Dorothy S. Johnson of Matthews. “This beautiful structure is certain to become a special outdoor setting on our campus for reflection
nd he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers (Ephesians 4:11 KJV). I recently attended the funeral of a dear sweet lady named Edna Smith Oatman in Pleasantville, NJ. She graduated from North Carolina REV. DR. College for GEORGE JACKSON Negroes (now North Carolina Central University) in 1939. Edna taught in public schools in North Carolina, Virginia and New Jersey until she was forced to retire as principal in 1985. She continued to tutor students for another 16 years until failing health forced her to resign. She was almost 97 at her passing. As I listened to the many tributes and accolades heaped upon her by students, friends and family members, I looked back on my own elementary education in the mid-1960s. Brown verses Topeka in 1954 was not implemented in my school district until 1970, 16 years after the landmark Supreme Court decision. My first school was built in 1925 and the teachers at Monroe Street School used the very limited resources at their disposal to challenge, nurture and push their students to be citizens in a society that often considered us to be nothing more than excess baggage. When we openly discuss African-American history, the personalities we applaud and celebrate are famous for great and noble acts of protest, courage, heroism, athleticism, service and intellect. I was thinking how about a tribute to all the wonderful men and women who gave those African-American heroes a voice in our lives. Teachers bring people who seem to be a million miles away within arm’s reach. As a first grader in 1968, Mrs. Hattie Graham made Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. more than a martyr; she made him a hero and a pillar of strength. She introduced him to me when she taught me the slogan “Free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty we are free at last.” How different would my life be had Mrs. Viola Dixon not taught me to read, Mrs. Ramsey not taught me to write short stories, Mrs. Corey not taught me mathematics, and Mrs. Carson not taught me to love social studies. Those who made history would be anonymous to us without teachers to tell their stories and give them life. These are the people we so easily forget and overlook. We file them away like old papers. Now they are passing off the scene and we are losing a great source of information and inspiration. Teachers who guided us through segregation like Principal O. T. Fleming and Mrs. Ida Robinson are the patriarchs and matriarchs of AfricanAmerican history whose lessons are still relevant in a sometimes irrelevant society. There have been great advances in education over the last 40 years, without question. Academically, students and teachers today are light years ahead of their counterparts a generation ago. Yet there was something special about these giants of the classroom that sets them apart from the modern era. They took second-hand books, equipment and instruments and gave second-class citizens a first-class education. They not only taught us how to read and write, add and subtract, they taught us the Ten Commandments, the 23rd and 100th Psalms and the Lord’s Prayer before God was expelled from school. We cannot measure the impact they had on our nation. Before they are all called to the Principal’s Office in the sky, I just want to say, “Thank you for your love and your sacrifice.”

Educator and author Ruth Anderson shares a morality tale at Catawba College ducator and author Dr. Ruth Anderson shared her own morality tale with members of the Catawba College community when she spoke on campus Tuesday. Anderson was the keynote speaker for the eighth annual Lilly Colloquium and her visit to campus was sponsored by Catawba’s Lilly Center for Vocation and Values and Catawba’s Goodman School of Education. Anderson, who serves as executive director of The Servant Leadership School of Greensboro, told how she followed the “golden thread” of her life to realize her true purpose as a servant leader. Her tale began with a word picture of her as an undergraduate at Geneva College who thought she knew what she wanted to major in. Thanks to the assistance and insight of her undergraduate advisor, a Dr. Farra, she found joy in service to others. When the window of her first job with a non-profit closed, a door opened for her to attend graduate school at Kent State University. “The task always is to hold what is true for me,” Anderson said. “Beware of all of the outside voices giving you bad advice” and “lean into whatever it is that energizes you. The true self within you is the big self that God had in mind.” After earning a master’s degree from Kent State University, Anderson earned her doctorate in communication from the University of Oregon and joined the faculty at North Carolina State University where she served as a tenured faculty member for 15 years. While on the faculty, she

and inspiration and we are very appreciative to the Johnsons for enabling this project to come to fruition,” Aymer said. Bishop Johnson served as the first chairman of the Hood Theological Seminary Board of Trustees when the seminary became an independent graduate school, and he currently serves as the Bishop in Residence of the seminary. Dr. Dorothy Johnson is a Hood alumna and a recipient of the Bishop’s Award for Distinguished Service. The Reflecting Pool and Fountain Project was part
of the original long- range design plans for the new seminary campus now located at 1810 Lutheran Synod Drive. The Johnsons recently provided the funds to enable the seminary to move forward with its construction. Karen Alexander of KKA Architecture worked closely with the Johnsons on the final design for the project. The dedication service will be followed by a book signing in the Cokesbury Bookstore located on the seminary campus featuring Dr. Dorothy S. Johnson’s recently published
Dr. Dorothy S. Johnson and Bishop Joseph Johnson will be honored March 3 at Hood Theological Seminary. book “From Victim to Victory.”
The public is invited to attend the dedication and book signing events. Individuals wishing to attend are asked to RSVP to 704636-6926 by March 1. Hood Theological Seminary, located at 1810 Lutheran Synod Drive in Salisbury and sponsored by the AME Zion Church, is a graduate and professional school where intellectual discourse and ministerial preparation occur in tandem within the framework of a community of faith. Sixteen different denominations are currently represented in the student body.
Dr. George B. Jackson is founder and chairman of the Martin Luther King Social Action Committee.

Don't walk around with a chip on your shoulder, always spoiling for a fight. Don't try to be like those who shoulder their way through life. Why be a bully? "Why not?" you say. Because God can't stand twisted souls. It's the straightforward who get his respect. God's curse blights the house of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous. He gives proud skeptics a cold shoulder, but if you're down on your luck, he's right there to help. Wise living gets rewarded with honor; stupid living gets the booby prize. Proverbs 3:30-35 (The Message)

Saturday, Feb. 26, 2011 Several good deeds you’ve done for others in the past will be repaid in the year ahead, especially some things you’ve done for a few people you work with. What they do for you could boast you up the ladder of success. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Your ability to achieve a big objective is good, but you might have to try many times before you make the cut. It might take a lot of persistence to put you in the winner’s circle. Aries (March 21-April 19) — We all make mistakes, so don’t hesitate to admit to any you might make. It doesn’t mean you are a lesser person, and your friends will love you for being human like them Taurus (April 20-May 20) — When doing business or making a deal with someone, watch out for any unusual behavior or maneuvers. This person might be someone who likes to catch people unaware. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Someone you recently met might unintentionally give you information that, if acted upon, would throw you off course. Heed advice only from those you’re certain know what they are talking about. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — There is nothing wrong with your ability to do a certain job properly. However, what you start might not get finished, not because you ran out of time, because you’ll stop and never get back to it. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Jumping into a hare-brained idea a friend suggested is just plain stupid, and you know it. Yet that is exactly what you might do if you’re merely reacting and not thinking. Get back in form. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — If you engage yourself in an important project or arrangement, make haste slowly. It is not like you to be impulsive. You know that doing so could be erroneous and need correction. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Don’t try to be too perfect, because it could cause you to waste needless time on something you can’t make any better. Plan to do what is important and stick to it. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Rewards for work well-done will be forthcoming. Just don’t take your hard-earned income and blow it on something frivolous. Make your money count for something. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Embellishing the facts — thinking that you can make a bigger impression on others — is likely to blow up in your face when someone squeals on you. Truth earns respect, exaggeration doesn’t. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Someone who has put himself out to help advance your position might withdraw his support if he thinks you are bragging about him being an easy mark. Watch what you say. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Don’t try to match penny for penny with friends who are far more solvent than you are. Do what you can afford to do with them, but once you’ve exhausted that, go your own way. Trying to patch up a broken romance? The Astro-Graph Matchmaker can help you understand what to do to make the relationship work. Send for your Matchmaker set by mailing $3 to Astro-Graph, P.O. Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092-0167.

Bedbugs revisited — again How do you show a super hand? Bedbugs are about the size of an apple seed, oval, flat and red/brown in color, with the exception of newly hatched bugs, which are almost colorless. Females live about 10 months and can lay 200 eggs in that time. The bugs shed their skin five times as they mature and require a blood meal for each molt. They can, however, live for months without eating and prefer crowded surroundings such as hotels with heavy traffic, apartment buildings and military barracks, remaining rather dormant during the day and becoming active at night. We unfairly and incorrectly relate bedbugs with dirty living conditions. This is a misnomer. They don’t care whether a home is dirty or clean. Their only purpose is to be fed through human blood, although some prefer a meal from bats or birds. They hide out in cracks and crevices of upholstered furniture, under wallpaper and carpeting, behind electrical outlets, in box springs and mattresses. Telltale signs of bugs include brown to black specks of feces or waste material, tiny blood smears on bedding from an engorged bug being crushed and the empty casings or shells they cast off during a lifetime. Eradication is easiest with the assistance of a professional exterminator. Beyond that, meticulous vacuuming of all furniture crevices and washing clothing and bed linens in hot water can kill the bugs. I’ve also been advised that if you purchase any fabrics manufac-
tured and packaged in foreign countries, all bath towels, linens and other goods should be placed in a clothes dryer on medium to high heat for 20 minutes to kill any possible bugs or eggs that might have migrated here from foreign factories. Symptoms include red lesions that either clump or appear in a jagged line, hives, blisters and itching. Symptoms generally disappear on their own within two weeks. The itch can be treated with overthe-counter diphenhydramine. Dear Dr. Gott: I have seborrheic dermatitis. I’ve been to many doctors, and no one has ever relieved the itch or the loss of hair. I take clobetasol propionate topical solution, fluocinolone acetonide topical solution and a half hydroxyzine HCL tablet at night for the itch. Nothing has helped. I have no dandruff or pimples but a pink scalp that itches. Can you help? Dear Reader: Seborrheic dermatitis is a skin disorder that commonly attacks the scalp. It commonly presents with dandruff and scaly and itchy red skin on the scalp but can also appear in the groin, armpits, between the eyebrows and in other locations. You certainly don’t exhibit the classic symptoms, so I question whether you have been diagnosed properly. Similar conditions include tinea capitis (ringworm), which causes bald scalp patches that itch but are red; scalp psoriasis, which covers the scalp with silver-colored scales; and actinic keratoses, presenting with pink patches.

Dorothy Parker said, “This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force.” Sometimes a player has an absolute maximum for his bidding. If partner then announces interest in a higher contract, the player should try to express his extra values. In this deal, what contract would you like to reach? After South’s opening onespade bid was raised to two spades, South wondered if a slam might be makable. He rebid three clubs, knowing partner would treat it as a help-suit game-try, but also aware that he would get a better idea of the force of partner’s hand. North had a maximum nine points with two aces. He expressed that by raising to
four clubs, which said that he was willing to play in four spades, but he had a maximum with club length (which, admittedly, would usually be five cards). Then South used Blackwood before bidding seven clubs. West led the heart king. Yes, he might have preferred a trump, but it would not have mattered. Note that in seven clubs there are 13 tricks: six spades, one heart, one diamond and five clubs, four from winners and one from either a heart ruff in the South hand or a diamond ruff in the dummy. But note that in spades or no-trump, there are only 12 tricks. This deal highlights the advantage of a 4-4 fit, which would be worth only four tricks in no-trump or as a side suit, but generates a fifth trick as the trump suit.
Kelsey Grammer gets hitched on Broadway NEW YORK (AP) — Kelsey Grammer has tied the knot for the fourth time. The “Cheers” and “Frasier” star married 29-year-old flight attendant Kayte Walsh on Friday at Broadway’s Longacre Theatre — the same place where the actor had been headlining “La Cage aux Folles” with Douglas Hodge until earlier this month. The actor’s divorce from his third wife, “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Camille Grammer, became final earlier this month.

Dear Dr. Gott: For a while, I couldn’t pick up a newspaper or watch television without the topic of bedbugs heading the news. Now I’m not seeing or hearing as much. Does that mean they are all gone? I’m frankly not sure I understand how they became such a problem in the first place. Dear Reader: While we are not reading about them in the daily headlines or hearing about them on the e v e n i n g news, bedbugs remain a major concern. They were a major DR. PETER health concern until the GOTT 1950s, but with the discovery of DDT, infestations declined. Unfortunately, the pesticide has since been banned because of its toxicity to our environment. This has led to resurgence. People are engaging more in international travel; others are purchasing recycled bedding and couches from secondhand shops or are removing them from drop-off areas on city streets; homeless shelters are filled to capacity owing to our failing economy; and contaminated linens are manufactured cheaper in other countries and shipped to the United States. This isn’t to imply you shouldn’t purchase or obtain secondhand furniture; it simply means you should give everything a thorough once-over prior to bringing it into your home.

A winter storm in the East pulls away from the East Coast, while a system in the West continues bringing rain and snow to the West Coast. A low pressure system that has a history of producing heavy snow over the Northeast, mixed winter precipitation over New England, and severe storms in the Southeast will finally move eastward and away from the East Coast. As this system moves eastward, the back side will pull cold air into the Northeast from eastern Canada. Expect highs in the only to reach into the 20s across most of New England. In the West, a major winter storm slowly moves down the coast and into the Southwest. This will continue to trigger periods of heavy rain with snow in the Sierras. Snow showers will diminish across the northern Sierras, with only an 2 to 4 inches likely in the morning, but the southern Sierras will see up to 8 inches. Cold air will also pour in behind this low pressure system, creating record-breaking overnight lows, while daytime highs may only reach into the 40s along the low coastal regions. If precipitation develops, many areas that usually do not see frozen precipitation, may see snow in the cold, overnight hours, but accumulation is not likely. Rainfall totals will range from 1 to 1.5 inches across southern California. Another trough of low pressure leads this system eastward, moving over the Great Basin and Central Rockies. Expect widespread scattered snow showers throughout the day, with accumulation up to 6 inches in western Colorado and near 4 inches across Utah.

The master suite: a haven within your home faded. Windswept and washed effects, as well as monochromatic layering, set off this modern collection. Inspired colors from Dutch Boy’s innovative Color Simplicity System include Boardwalk Blue, Composed Bloom, Spruce Hollow and Range Brown.
(ARA) - The master bedroom has evolved into far more than a place where you hit the pillow and grab a few hours of sleep each night. Today, it’s almost a misnomer to call these modern, multi-functional rooms bedrooms. If you’re looking to renovate, expand or build a new master bedroom, think “master suite” instead. Don’t just create a cozy room meant for sleeping, because in recent years it really has turned into so much more.
Another palette working its way into the contemporary master suite is one that revolves around technology which also reflects the modern amenities that are incorporated into these living spaces. In Dutch Boy’s “Abyss” trend for 2011, soft neutrals and grays complement the true serenity of a master suite and the reflective alone time you appreciate when you’re away from today’s sometimes overwhelming abundance of technology and instant communication. Consider such hues as Dutch Boy’s Gargoyle Shadow, Fresh Linen, Pursuit of Happiness and Piccolo.
The growing trend of making the master suite one of your immediate family’s choice gathering spots stems from a flagging economy and the fact that more people are choosing to enjoy leisure time at home instead of out on the town. And believe it or not, many are choosing to spend it in the master bedroom. “The master bedroom has increasingly become a restful retreat within your larger home - a place where you can spend the day, if you wish, with all the comforts of a traditional family room,” says Donna Schroeder, color marketing and design manager for Dutch Boy Paints. “The trend is to combine comfort with convenient amenities in an atmosphere that is peaceful and relaxing.”
Don’t expect to lounge on the bed with your cappuccino in hand. Reserve space in your design for an ample sitting area where you can put a sofa, comfortable reading chairs and even a state-of-the-art entertainment system for movie nights and lazy Sundays.
of color and textures to accent the space and create a true sense of retreat. The first consideration? Paint and the color it provides. Your choice of paint will create the canvas that complements and highlights all of the room’s other design features.
Add a built-in customized entertainment center to house the latest and greatest gadgets for everyone in the house. You’ll want to have room not only for the flat screen HDTV and Blu-Ray player but also the kids’ gaming system, DVR receiver and a nook for Dad’s sound system. You might also want to include shelves for Mom’s prized collection of romantic old movies so she can watch them in the comfort of her bedroom haven.
“This year’s color trends are inspired by everyday life, making them versatile in any setting, including a master suite,” Schroeder says. “One collection that works especially well is one that reflects a practical way of life - a true functionality.”
You can picture it already, can’t you? First, however, you must set the stage for this oasis, using a serene palette
In this palette, texture is key and colors are soft and
“Life moves at a rapid-fire pace these days, and a master suite is one place where you can get away from the hustling pace and just take a deep breath,” Schroeder says. “When creating your sanctuary within your home, take time to consider all the design options so you can have a space where you can escape from responsibilities, deadlines and outside noise and simply just relax.”

One of the easiest ways to accomplish this is to look to sumptuous hotel suites for your design inspiration. Plush, comfortable and full of luxuries - big and small hotel suites offer plenty of ideas you can mimic. You say you like coffee first thing in the morning? Why go down to the kitchen? Install a coffee bar, complete with an espresso maker, coffee grinder and a mini refrigerator to store milk for those extra-foam lattes.
Nothing ties a room together better than luxurious design elements like custom-made fabric headboards and coordinating bedding in silks, Egyptian cottons and other natural fibers. Think mix-and-match when it comes to furniture - eclecticism rules in 2011. The pervasive influence of steampunk - a quirky mix of old and new - makes it perfectly fine to blend a contemporary platform bed with an ornate, Victorian dresser. The style is flea market meets high-end, and it looks great.

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS Deeper spending cuts by state and local governments weighed down U.S. economic growth in the final three months of last year. The government’s new estimate for the OctoberDecember quarter illustrates how growing state budget crises could hold back the economic recovery. The Commerce Department reported economic growth increased at an annual rate of 2.8 percent in the final quarter of last year. Google says it has tweaked the formulas steering its Internet search engine to take the rubbish out of its results. The overhaul is designed to lower the rankings of what Google deems “low-quality” sites. That could be a veiled reference to such sites as Demand Media’s eHow.com, which critics call online “content farms” — that is, sites producing cheap, abundant, mostly useless content that ranks high in search results. Sites that produce original content or information that Google considers valuable are supposed to rank higher under the new system. J.C. Penney Co.’s fourth-quarter profit rose 36 percent, capping a week of similar reports from

clothing and department store chains such as Gap Inc. and Kohl’s Corp. Penney’s shares fell $1.91, or 5.2 percent, to $34.62 as investors appeared worried that price increases ricocheting through the retail industry would hurt Penney’s midincome customers. Penney’s net income was $271 million, or $1.13 per share, for the three months that ended Jan. 29. That compares with $200 million, or 84 cents per share, in the same period last year. Revenue rose 2.8 percent to $5.7 billion. Revenue at stores open at least a year increased 4.5 percent. Caesars Entertainment Corp., the world’s largest casino operator, reported a loss for its fourth quarter as gamblers kept a tight rein on spending. But Caesars said Las Vegas is showing signs of stabilizing while Atlantic City still struggles. The privately held casino and resort operator said it lost $196.7 million for the period ended Dec. 31. That compares with net income of $295.6 million a year earlier, including a substantial one-time benefit. Caesars said its quarterly revenue rose 1 percent to $2.12 billion from $2.1 billion.

Busch wins in Phoenix AVONDALE, Ariz. (AP) — A quick pit stop and some key changes made Kyle Busch a winner with a new truck and a new bride. Fastest out of the pits on the opening stop — and on the track the rest of the night after a few adjustments — Busch led the final 107 laps in the first race in his new ride to win a wreck-filled NASCAR trucks race at Phoenix International Raceway on Friday. “We made some good changes to our Toyota to where it would pick up some speed and we could really hustle through the corners,” said Busch, who was married in the offseason. “So these guys did a great job for me.” NASCAR voted in the offseason that drivers must declare which series they’re racing for a championship to prevent Sprint Cup drivers from chasing Nationwide and trucks series titles. Michael Waltrip won the opener at Daytona and Busch made it two straight for Sprint Cup drivers in trucks, rarely challenged after taking the lead from Clint Bowyer in the 150-lap race around Phoenix’s milelong oval. “It’s great for our sport to have a Kyle Busch come run in trucks or Nationwide,” said Ron Hornaday, who finished third. “It just shows you how much you have to work on your equipment or your driving style. Tonight, we just flat got beat.” Bowyer dominated at Phoenix last fall, leading 97 laps in his first trucks race in three years. He was fast again in qualifying, setting a track record at 133.949 mph, and led the first 43 laps under the lights on Friday night. A pit stop cost him the spot up front. The caution came out on Lap 43 after Chase Mattioli slid up into the wall, sending the trucks in for the first round of pit stops. Busch, who won a series-high eight races in 13 starts last season, barely beat Bowyer at the line coming out and maintained the lead even after the race got ugly
over the final 50 laps. Relatively clean through the first 100 laps, the race bogged down after a series of wrecks and spinouts sent the yellow flag flying seemingly every other lap, with six of the race’s eight cautions coming in a 32-lap stretch. Busch was fastest off the green on each of the restarts and kept Bowyer and Hornaday well back in his mirror for the rest of the way for his 25th win in 87 career trucks starts — the fastest to reach that mark in any of NASCAR’s top three series. “He always is the guy to beat in this series,” Bowyer said of Busch. “We were fortunate enough to beat him in that truck in the fall last year, but I knew we lost the lead there, it was just like last year: He couldn’t pass me and I couldn’t do nothing with him.” Waltrip won the season-opening truck race for Vision Aviation Racing on the 10-year anniversary of his win at the Daytona 500, the same year Dale Earnhardt died. Waltrip’s team was later penalized by NASCAR for driving the final few laps with a broken spoiler, though he wasn’t docked any points since he had declared for the Sprint Cup season series title. Waltrip was replaced in Phoenix by Dusty Davis, who ended up 26th in his first trucks race after being taken out on Lap 113 when defending series champion Todd Bodine got spun out. Bodine’s spinout or none of the other wipeouts were enough to stop Busch, who won his 87th NASCAR national series win, tying Jeff Gordon for sixth all-time — in a new truck, no less. “We were really exciting there a few weeks ago the day we went to set it up, it’s just one of those trucks where everything fits and goes together the way, and it makes you happy because they worked so hard,” crew chief Eric Phillips said. “When we unloaded today, it was fast right out of the truck.”
