10-week-old dies in fire Parents, 3-year-old escape blaze in East Spencer BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com

EAST SPENCER — Three-year-old Zachary Doolittle survived an early Friday morning fire without a scratch, but his 10-week-old brother, Jacob, was killed. His parents, Joey and Samantha Doolittle, were being treated at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center for severe burns. By Friday night, the smoke had settled at the 310 E. Henderson St. home, and relatives taking care of Zachary said he was running around enjoying the sunshine that afternoon while his parents received treatment at Baptist. But they said he vividly remembers the events from earlier in the morning. “When he woke up (from his nap) he said, ‘My buddy’s gone,’ ” said Keith Ferrell, a cousin of the Doolittles. “He said just a while ago, out of nowhere, ‘My daddy said help, help, help.’ “He knows exactly what happened. He knows it wasn’t a dream.” ••• Joey Dolittle ran to his neighboring cousin’s house just before 5 a.m. Friday, screaming that his house was on fire and his baby was inside and he couldn’t get him out, Beth McBryde said. “We were sleeping and all of a sudden Joey came running through the house,” she said. “We came straight down (to the house). “Both of them (Joey and Samantha) were trying their best to get their son out. Both of them was burnt, their hair was singed.” An in-law, Tammy Jo McBryde, said Joey’s face and hands looked like they were melting. Beth McBryde said her son and husband tried to go into the house, but a huge fireball came at them when they opened the front door. One window to the bedroom was the only hope for getting Jacob out of the house. “We tried to go through a window,

She said the East Spencer Fire Department didn’t arrive until 23 minutes after the call. Rowan County Fire Marshal Tom Murphy said he thinks East Spencer’s response time was more in the range of six minutes, and that Spencer Fire

Department was actually the first to arrive with firefighters. Other departments responding included Union, Miller’s Ferry and Salisbury, as well as Rowan County Rescue, Rowan EMS, Rowan County Sheriff’s Office and the East Spencer Fire Department. The State Bureau of Investigation was also called to the scene. ••• The fire is believed to have started near Zachary’s bed, and is thought to have been caused by electrical wiring, the fire marshal’s office said. And Zachary is very lucky — he fell

the foreclosure sale of Salisbury Mall. The bank, which acts as trustee for the registered loan holders of Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp., bid more than $10.3 million on Monday. An upset bid of 5 percent more than the bank bid can be made within 10 days of Monday’s auction — by next Thursday. The minimum amount of the next upset bid must be more than $10.8 million with a deposit of $543,375 required to upset the bid. Mooresville attorney Kevin Donaldson, who is the substitute trustee, filed the paperwork with the Rowan County Clerk of Court’s Office this week.

If no one bids higher than Wells Fargo, the sale will be closed and the deed will be transferred to the bank, Donaldson said by phone. The auction was postponed three times — in December, January and February — at the request of Donaldson on behalf of the holder, court documents said. The mall went into foreclosure Nov. 9 after Salisbury Mall Associates LLC, owned by Sam Spiegel and his wife, Simone, of Deerfield, Fla., defaulted on the loan. The Spiegels owe $19.7 million on the note. Samco Properties, which the Spiegels founded, had not made a loan payment

since July 2009. Samco is a commercial real estate company that bought the mall in 2003. The loan originated through Column Financial Inc., a subsidiary of Credit Suisse Co., based in New York. In North Carolina, Samco owns Marketplace Mall in Winston-Salem, Westgate Plaza in Durham and Forest Ridge Shopping Center in Asheville, according to the company website said. The mall remains open for business. A phone call to the mall manager was not returned. Contact Shavonne Potts at 704-7974253.

KANNAPOLIS — The N.C. Research Campus offers a lot of opportunities for aspiring scientists, and those working on their doctoral degrees. There’s just one problem: the campus has no dormitory, no place for students visiting from other parts of the state, or other countries, to stay. Enter the Kannapolis Rotary Club, with a project designed to raise money for student housing while promoting the healthy ideals the Research Campus is built on. The Kannapolis Rotary Nutrithon, a duathlon slated for Aug. 20, will combine running and cycling with the race to raise more than $250,000 to create housing for visiting researchers. “This is a great way to build a bridge to the Research Campus and the future of Kannapolis,” William “Whit” Whitley, chairman of the fundraising committee, said. A duathlon is a three-part race consisting of a 5K run, a 25K bicycle route and a final

8K foot race. By attracting racers and spectators to downtown Kannapolis, the event will promote the Research Campus and its focus on healthier living through studies of nutrition and biotechnology. And it will solve a problem that those researchers say is preventing some from taking advantage of the downtown lab complex. “What the Rotary Club is doing is addressing the one problem that we’ve recognized,” Mary Ann Lila of N.C. State University said. She said students at the eight universities with a presence on the Research Campus have to pay for housing at school, plus the additional cost of a room during their research time in Kannapolis. Most don’t have the money to rent hotel rooms or second apartments here. “We’re picking the cream of the crop students. When they come, they visit the campus and they’re blown away by the wonderful facilities,”

William Hennessee, who teaches in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro school district, said deep cuts to public schools would harm the ability to continue producing the educated workforce that has made Research Triangle Park one of the state’s best job-creating centers. “We didn’t cause the poor economy.

The talk of possible layoffs and likely benefit cuts was fresh evidence that the teaching profession is chronically undervalued, said Pamela Bunch, a 16-year business and career teacher in Guilford County. “I’m not in this for the money, but I need money,” she said. “If public education loses out, children can’t win.” Salaries for teachers are paid by the state and topped off with additional contributions from local governments. The local supplements vary based on the affluence of communities, and state spending hinges on the availability of funds. Teachers received no state raises the past two years.

RALEIGH (AP) — Public school teachers feeling the threat of layoffs, reduced benefits and extra work offered each other encouragement Friday as they vowed to resist state budget cuts to education. For the nearly 1,000 members of the North Carolina Association of Educators gathered at their annual convention, the worries ahead revolve around what the General Assembly will cut to address a budget shortfall estimated to be $2.4 billion in the year beginning in July. Ideas being floated by the legislature’s new Republican majority include eliminating funding for thousands of teachers and even more teacher assistants, though no decisions have been made by budget-writ-

National Guardsman of year from Kannapolis CAMP BUTNER — The North Carolina National Guard has named Kannapolis resident Sgt. 1st Class Robert P. Wheeler Soldier of the Year for the enlisted ranks of E7E9. Wheeler competed against 17 soldiers from across the state over the past week. In addition to winning the Soldier of the Year in the senior enlisted category, he earned the right to represent the N.C. National Guard in the Noncommissioned Soldier of the Year Region 3 competition scheduled later this year. Wheeler logged the highest score for a male competitor in the Army Physical Fitness Test, one of several obstacles in the Soldier of the Year Competition, which also included events such as a land navigation course, a six-mile road march, and many other Soldier events. “This was my first time competing in this event,” said Wheeler. “I’m excited for regionals.” Wheeler, impressed with the camaraderie built during the week, noted he definitely met a “great bunch of battle buddies” at the competition.

Lots of arguing, but housing committee making progress Facilitator working with panel BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com

Despite raised voices, interruptions and a lack of consensus on key points, the Better Housing Committee made progress this week, according to a consultant and city officials. The city hired Glenn Harbeck, a consultant from Wilmington, to facilitate meetings for the committee, made up of residents appointed by City Council in November. Harbeck, who has worked with Salisbury since 1988, facilitated the group’s fifth meeting Wednesday.

Harbeck said he was pleased with the vigorous debate. The committee is tackling contentious issues like whether the city should inspect rental property and what to do about abandoned houses and irresponsible tenants. “I didn’t see anything unusual about that committee,” Harbeck said. “The worst thing is when everybody is quiet and nobody says anything.” After four meetings, the committee had come to a stalemate between landlords and neighborhood advocates.

“It has been totally dysfunctional,” said former member Garth Birdsey, who resigned before Wednesday’s meeting because he took a new job abroad. “When discussions start happening, it turns into a bickering session between the two viewpoints.” Using a trained, objective facilitator helped, said Mayor Pro Tem Maggie Blackwell. “I saw progress,” said Blackwell, who has attended all the committee meetings. “There’s definitely more of a conciliatory mood.” Committee members began to acknowledge each other’s positions on divisive issues, she said. “I really saw growth, and I’m optimistic,” Blackwell said, adding she

believes the committee will bring an “excellent” plan to City Council. The committee spent more than two hours discussing the results of a public forum held last month and attended by more than 100 people. Harbeck also facilitated the forum and provided the committee with a 10page summary, in- BLACKWELL cluding every concern expressed during a small-group process. Harbeck grouped the concerns under 12 topics, ranked by the num-

Local leaders explain civic responsibility BY HUGH FISHER hfisher@salisburypost.com

KANNAPOLIS — It’s not every day a high school student gets to decide the fate of $100 million in funding. Tenth-grade students at A.L. Brown High School had the chance to do that, plus ask candid questions of city and county leaders at Friday’s 4-H Citizenship Focus. The event gave students firsthand experience with elected officials and how government works. In Mandy Browning’s classroom, one of several model county commission sessions divided the class into groups to make budget cuts. Kannapolis Finance Director Eric Davis moderated a discussion as students made their case for funding. They had $121.5 million in requests. The county only had $100 million in revenue. Just like real county governments in North Carolina, deficit spending was not allowed. And so students debated: Have fewer health inspectors in restaurants, or fewer people enforcing laws? Cut money for education, or take funds from social services? Omar Rodriguez ad-

dressed the five students chosen at random to play the roles of county commissioners. He argued more money should be left for education than social services. “If the kids who are in homeless shelters or foster care don’t get the education they need, there will be more problems,” he said. In the end, education got another half-million dollars. And the mock Board of Elections saw its budget slashed — despite a higher risk of election fraud. “I learned about the different departments, and found that some are more important than others,” said Treasure Robinson, one of the members of the model county commission. Rodriguez said he learned how important it is to be prepared and to make a good case for yourself. “This makes government applicable to their lives,” Browning said. Fellow civics teacher Meredith Bost said the program was important because she didn’t think students fully realized what local governments do. “They see the federal government described in the media,” Bost said. “This helps bridge the gap.” Across campus, four lo-

10th-grader treasure robinson listens to ideas from her classmates during a mock county commission meeting as part of 4-H Citizenship Focus. cal officials took part in a panel discussion. Students asked Sheriff Brad Riley about the problems of law enforcement and how he came to be the county’s top law enforcer. Kannapolis City Manager Mike Legg fielded questions about how the city deals with budget cuts and challenges of a growing population. Cabarrus County Commissioner Chris Measmer described the path that brought him to public service at the age of 23. And Todd Adams of the

Kannapolis Board of Education answered questions about practically everything, from school uniforms to whether or not yearround school was a good idea. Students then broke into smaller groups for a more focused Q&A with other city officials. “I hope they come away with a sense of responsibility, of what it takes to make a community work,” Adams said after the event.

Taxes and budget cuts up for discussion in Spencer BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com

SPENCER — Two Spencer aldermen have called a special meeting of the town board for 8 p.m. Tuesday to discuss the property tax rate and possible budget cuts. The meeting will follow two others on Tuesday night — Spencer Planning Board at 6 p.m. and a joint meeting of

the Planning Board and Board of Aldermen at 7 p.m. All meetings will be in Town Hall. Aldermen Jeff Morris and Reid Walters called the 8 p.m. meeting. They want to discuss whether the board will maintain the town’s current 60-cent property tax rate, which would require budget cuts. If so, the board needs to

start the budget planning process as soon as possible, Morris and Walters said in a letter to Mayor Jody Everhart and Town Manager Larry Smith. The May deadline for Smith to present the budget may need to be moved earlier, they said. The Planning Board at 6 p.m. will discuss the Snider Street rezoning, which alder-

men sent back to planners for reconsideration after residents sued the town. They want to maintain the former residential zoning. Then aldermen will hold their annual joint meeting with the Planning Board at 7 p.m. to discuss long-term planning. Contact reporter Emily Ford at 704-797-4264.

State reprimands local physician LANDIS — A Landis doctor has been reprimanded by the N.C. Medical Board for having an inappropriate relationship with an employee. Dr. Eric Troyer, who practices at Troyer Medical on South Central Avenue, declined to comment on the reprimand when contacted by the Post on Friday. According to a consent ap- TROYER order proved by the state Medical Board at its February meeting, Troyer admitted that he and his employee started the “intimate and inappropriate” relationship in 2007 while he owned Main Street Family Practice in China Grove. The employee is not identified in the Medical Board document. According to the consent order, Troyer acknowledged the unprofessional conduct, which is grounds for the board to take action up to revoking his license to practice medi-

cine. To avoid further action, Troyer agreed to the reprimand, which requires him to take a continuing education course on ethics and maintaining proper boundaries. He is also required to notify the board in writing of any change in his residence or the location of his practice, meet with board members for informal interviews at their request, and obey all rules and regulations regarding the practice of medicine. If Troyer violates any of the terms, the board could again consider suspending or revoking his license, according to the consent order. The reprimand will be reported to the Federation of State Medical Boards, the National Practitioner’s Data Bank, the Healthcare Integrity and Protection Data Bank and other agencies that collect information on medical practitioners, the order says. Information about physicians including licensing, education and disciplinary actions is public record. It is available online at www.ncmedboard.org.

Dog dragged by pickup is headed home today BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com

“Damien Jo,” Robert Craver’s 12-year-old American pitbull terrier, is lucky to be alive, and even luckier to be going home today, after a week-long stint and several surgeries at the Salisbury Animal Hospital. On March 12, Damien was dragged for an unknown distance along Jake Alexander Boulevard after his leash slipped down the truck-bed railing. The dog was riding in the pickup bed. Craver said it wasn’t until someone in a white Chevrolet pickup passed him on Morlan Park Road, pumped their brake lights and stopped to get his attention. When Craver looked in his rear-view mirror, he saw the woman outside the truck with her hands to her mouth, in shock, Craver said. “I thought, ‘Oh my God, my dog,’ ” he said. Damien wasn’t breathing. The skin on the lower part of his legs had been rubbed off, bones and muscles exposed. “I jumped in the back of the truck with him and I laid back there with him while my buddy drove,” Craver said. Craver blew into Damien’s nose and pumped his chest. A

rates reflect a decrease over the past year. “We continue to recognize that there are still challenges ahead of us as we continue to rebuild our local economies,” Holmes said in a press release. The state unemployment rate was 10.5 percent in January. Orange County had the state’s lowest unemployment rate in January at 6.5 percent. Graham County had the highest rate at 19.4 percent. Here are the rates in other counties that border Rowan: • Davidson — 11.7 percent in January, up from 11.1 percent in December. • Davie — 10.5 percent, up from 9.5 percent. • Iredell — 11.5 percent, up from 10.9 percent. • Stanly — 11.8 percent, up from 10.9 percent.

2 more security incidents at Charlotte airport CHARLOTTE (AP) — Officials say the perimeter of Charlotte’s airport has been breached twice recently despite enhanced security concerns following the death of a stowaway last year. The Charlotte Observer reported Friday the fenced perimeter was broken last Saturday and Monday. Charlotte/Douglas International Airport spokeswoman

Haley Gentry said $13,000 worth of power tools were taken the first time, and about $150 in diesel fuel was stolen in the second incident. The airport has faced security questions since a 16-yearold is thought to have crawled into the wheel well of a plane. Detectives think the body fell as a jet from Charlotte lowered its landing gear on approach into Boston.

DOG

Craver said he’s glad Damien’s finally coming home. “He’s tough as nails,” he said. “It’s just going to be a process now. They said the bandages and stuff need to be changed every other day. “But I’m tickled to have him home.” As for the couple who stopped him last Saturday, Craver said he hopes they will come forward because he wants to thank them. “If he wouldn’t have made it, I would have never been able to forgive myself, because it’s my fault,” he said. “I love him so much. He’s my best friend, he’s my therapist, he’s my everything.” Craver says he’ll never drive with his dogs in the bed of his truck ever again, even though he used what he thought was a secure system to restrain the dog. “They’re my kids and I thought I was taking every precaution. But when it boils down to it, there’s no safe way,” he said. McCaskill said Damien’s injuries were preventable. “He’s going to have several months of recovery,” she said. “He will have severe scars. Luckily this dog did not break any bones. (And) it’s going to be costly.”

FROM 3a through the emergency entrance with Damien in his arms, shouting for help. “He was in shock,” Craver said of Damien. Doctors wrapped him in a solution that removed the dead skin and helped new skin grow, Craver said. Veterinarian Jessica A.F. McCaskill and others at Salisbury Animal Hospital worked on Damien for the past week. Two deep wounds on both of Damien’s rear legs were a big concern for doctors. The dog had two surgeries and faces at least two more. All four of his feet were also severely damaged, and doctors had to close the tissue over his exposed bones. Damien’s second surgery on Thursday was to remove dying tissue and stitch him back up. But Damien has been resilient. “I can’t stress enough that this dog has wagged his tail through the whole thing,” McCaskill said. “He has just been the bravest patient. “From day one, (Damien) never, ever growled or complained, and was very stoic. ... He’s doing fabulous.”

HOUSING FROM 3a

n’t characterize them as dominating the meeting. “They were expressing their point of view, and they probably have a lot of concerns in terms of what the ultimate recommendations might look like in terms of affecting their businesses,” Morris said. Throughout the process, committee members have had equal opportunity to speak, Morris said, and the public forum provided a chance for others to make their views known. Housing is a multi-faceted issue, he said, and the committee has several important decisions to make. “They are passionate about what they believe,” Morris said. “It’s not unexpected to have strong feelings about these issues.” To prevent disruptions from audience members who spoke without recognition from committee chairmen Nathan Chamber and Lou Manning, Morris said he would ask the audience to refrain from talking at the next meeting. He also said he might suggest the committee take public comment at the end of the meeting. The city pays Harbeck $150 an hour plus expenses. To cut down on travel expenses, Salisbury will try to schedule Harbeck when he’s in the area anyway, Morris said. The next housing committee meeting is 2 p.m. March 30 at the Park Avenue Community Center.

and standards, 26. • Neighborhood revitalization, cohesion, 21. The committee only covered three or four topics Wednesday, with heated debate surrounding whether rental properties should be inspected. “While we didn’t get through the 12, there was also a sort of general agreement that we had tackled the most thorny issues,” Harbeck said. The committee did reach some consensus, he said. “Everybody agrees that we need to get after landlords who are not taking care of their property,” Harbeck said. “The disagreement comes over how.” While neighborhood advocates continue to push for regular, required inspections of rental property, landlords resist, calling them costly and inconvenient. Committee members agreed they need to consult an attorney and made a long list of legal questions. “I couldn’t be prouder as a Salisbury citizen myself that people are having a very deliberate, thoughtful conversation about this very important issue,” City Planner Joe Morris said. “And I think it’s good for our community to have these kinds of discussions. It’s going to make us better.” Although three landlords and property managers on the committee did most of the Contact reporter Emily talking, Morris said he would- Ford at 704-797-4264.

Patricia Frazier Watkins WILMINGTON — Patricia Frazier Watkins, after being apart for only a very short time, on March 17, 2011, went to join her beloved Peter J. She was born in Badin to the late Dr. John Frazier and Sara Heider Frazier in 1926, and grew up in Salisbury. Pat was a cheerleader at Boyden High School, an excellent junior golfer, archer, swimming star and all around athlete. Local legend has it that Pete once intercepted a pass; Pat outran him to the goal line, and was waiting for him in the end zone to give him a hug. Pat attended Duke University, where she studied nursing. She was a member of the Duke Diving Team. She continued to golf, swim and play bridge with her friends all through life. On her birthday, Dec. 22, 1946, she married Pete Watkins, her high school sweetheart. The joke was that she picked this date for Pete, so he would only have to buy one present, instead of three, but he always bought separate presents for all three events (a very smart man!). They moved to Wilmington in 1948 and soon joined Grace United Methodist Church, where she was a longtime Sunday School teacher and pillar of the church. Pat was a lifelong scholar of biblical studies and visited the Middle East on an archaeological tour to further her knowledge. Pat was a true Christian and believed in helping the poor and oppressed. Before 1969, there were no public school kindergartens. In the mid-'60s, while doing outreach, Pat identified a need to prepare the children in the Grace Church neighborhood for first grade. Through perseverance, persuasion and her passion, she helped to create an inter-racial preschool/kindergarten for the local children, hosted by the church. Anyone living in Wilmington at that time can imagine what an enormous accomplishment that was. She was on the board of the Salvation Army, The Girls Club and many other service organizations where she put her beliefs into action. Her greatest legacy may be the sense of fairness and love she passed down to her children, her grandchildren and her friends. She is survived by her children, Sally, Ann, Mark, Bruce and wife Pam; and her two grandchildren, Lillian Casey Watkins and Peter Judson Watkins IV. Service and Visitation: Funeral services will be held at 1 p.m. Monday, March 21 at Grace United Methodist Church on the corner of Fourth and Grace Street. Visitation will follow the service at the church. Memorials: In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Grace United Methodist Church, the Methodist Home for Children, 1041 Washington St., Raleigh, NC 27605; or the charity of your choice. Andrews Mortuary in Wilmington is serving the family.

Judge accused of ticket fixing in Forsyth WINSTON-SALEM (AP) — A Forsyth County judge has been charged in 22 cases where traffic tickets were adjusted for friends, acquaintances, and fellow church members. The North Carolina Judicial Standards Commission has accused Forsyth District Judge Denise Hartsfield of a “continuing pattern of conduct” in which she entered fa-

vorable judgments for certain defendants. The commission filed the charges March 1 after an investigation by the State Bureau of Investigation. The commission will hold a hearing in a few months and make recommendations to the North Carolina Supreme Court, which could discipline Hartsfield. Penalties range from censure to removal from office.

Flames tear through Kannapolis home KANNAPOLIS — Fire heavily damaged a house Friday at 5408 Randolph Road . Kannapolis firefighters responded to the home around 4:30 p.m. and found heavy smoke and flames coming from the roof of the attached garage. Firefighters entered the house and put out the fire, but there was extensive fire damage to the garage and attic and smoke and fire damage to the remainder of the structure, a

press release said.Two people live in the home but no one was there at the time of the fire. Crews from the Atwell, Enochville and Odell volunteer fire departments assisted Kannapolis, along with Cabarrus County EMS. The Landis Fire Department and Cold Water Volunteer Fire Department provided district coverage.

Testing bill to take effect; Perdue won’t sign it RALEIGH, (AP) — Gov. Beverly Perdue said Friday that a bill to eliminate four standardized end-of-course tests in North Carolina high schools will become law without her signature. Perdue said two weeks ago she wouldn’t veto the measure if it came to her desk. But she confirmed Friday that she wouldn’t sign it into law, either. She had until Friday at midnight to act. Starting next fall, the measure will end the standardized tests in U.S. History, Algebra 2, Physical Science and Civics and Economics, none of which are required for the state to receive federal

funds. It also attempts to push the State Board of Education to create new kinds of assessments to evaluate student performance. The bill’s bipartisan supporters said they were responding to complaints that too much emphasis was placed on standardized tests that aren’t useful. Other tests will remain in place, such as reading and math in grades 3-8, as well as English, Biology and Algebra 1 courses. Perdue will let the bill become law even though Superior Court Judge Howard Manning, who is overseeing a

public school funding lawsuit, has said eliminating the tests would violate the state constitution. He wrote in a memo that test results are needed to evaluate whether students are receiving a meaningful education. It’s unclear whether Manning could issue a ruling attempting to declare the law unconstitutional on his own, or if it would require a separate lawsuit challenging the law. North Carolina governors have 10 days after receiving a bill to sign the bill into law, veto it, or let it become law without signing it.

Appalachian Cultural Museum a victim of hard times BOONE (AP) — Dozens of quilts, weaving looms and even a moonshine still are without a home now that Appalachian State University has closed its Appalachian Cultural Museum in Boone. University officials blame budget cuts for their decision to disperse the eclectic collection that has been part of the university since 1989. The museum website was taken down earlier this month and longtime director Charles Watkins was told his job will be eliminated at the end of the spring semester. The museum operated in University Hall on Blowing Rock Road until March 2006, when the space was renovated for use by Appalachian State’s Institute of Health and Human Services. Chancellor Kenneth Peacock pledged to find a new home for the museum, but the vast collection has been in storage ever since.

“We are experiencing totally different and very challenging times than compared to the economic climate of 2006,” Peacock said in a statement. “Few could have foreseen the nation’s and the state’s economic downtown and the impact on Appalachian and higher education.” The North Carolina university system suffered $170 million in budget cuts last year and more cuts are anticipated with the fiscal year that begins in July. A university spokesman estimated the museum’s annual budget at approximately $200,000. The Appalachian Cultural Museum was established a way to tell the story of the Appalachian people, said Neva Specht, who serves on a committee trying to decide what to do with the hundreds of ar-

tifacts now in storage. Pieces range from Native American pottery shards and arrowheads to NASCAR race cars to artifacts from the Land of Oz theme park at Beech Mountain, N.C. “One of the points of the museum was to break the myth of the hillbilly,” Specht said. “Appalachia is much more diverse and complex than that.” With poverty playing a prominent role in Appalachia’s image, some say the museum’s loss of funding seems even more poignant. “Budgets are not an uncommon challenge for local history museums, but this closing is especially sad,” said Robin Sarratt-Cohen, vice president for development at Lancaster County Historical Society in Pennsylvania and a

1998 graduate of the Appalachian State history program. “The museum was an important resource for students. It provided opportunities to develop our own ideas about how to display objects so the public can understand their importance. The experiences I had at the cultural museum and at Appalachian State completely shaped my career.” Specht said the museum committee will be working throughout the spring to assess the museum’s collection and attempt to place some pieces at other sites on campus, such as the Carol Belk Library and the Terchin Center for Visual Arts. “If not, we’ll look for regional institutions interested and capable of using them,” Specht said.

DARTS AND LAURELS

On lookout for litter Laurels to Rowan Helping Ministries’ new litter patrol, which began picking up trash on Council, Liberty, Shaver and Long streets this week. We often talk about people taking ownership of their neighborhoods, and RHM shelter guests decided to put that into action by cleaning up nearby streets twice a month. Coordinated through the New Tomorrows Program, the clean-up initiative is a great way for shelter patrons to give back to the community and make a visible contribution to the neighborhood. Meanwhile, if any other group is interested in organizing a cleanup crew and adopting a particular city street, contact the Salisbury Community Appearance Commission at 704-6385242. • • • Dart to the possibility that metal thieves are now targeting home appliances. Authorities aren’t positive that was the motive for a missing water heater, clothes dryer, refrigerator, oven and other goods apparently taken during a recent break-in on Kesler Street, but they suspect thieves hauled away the appliances to sell metal parts to salvage yards and recyclers. Considering that metal thieves have made off with air-conditioning units, guttering and wiring, it probably shouldn’t be a surprise that now they’re even going after the kitchen sink ... or at least the dishwasher. • • • Laurels to the North Rowan and Salisbury High basketball teams for clinching state championships last weekend in Raleigh. This was the third straight 2A title for the Salisbury girls, culminating with a dominating performance against East Bladen. The North Rowan boys team triumphed in dramatic fashion, coming back from a 19-point deficit to capture the 1A title. Along with victory wreaths for the winning teams, let’s also toss a laurel to all the loyal fans who hit the road to provide enthusiastic support during their teams’ march toward tournament titles. • • • Dart to pharmaceutical residues that make their way into streams, lakes and water supplies because of improper disposal of unused drugs. You can help avoid being part of the problem by taking old or unused medications to Operation Medicine Drop today in Landis. Drop off medicines at King’s Quick Stop, 200 W. Ryder Ave., between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. By sponsoring the event, Landis police are helping to keep these drugs out of our sewers, as well as off the streets.

Common sense

I know it’s futile, but ... “Then the lie passed into history and became truth.” — “1984” by George Orwell his will be a futile column. Experience dictates that it will change no minds, inspire no reconsideration among those who disagree. It will sit on the computer screen or the newspaper page taking up space, affecting nothing, until another column replaces it. It will be a useless essay, written for one reason only: to protect the writer’s mental health. If the writer did not write it, you see, there is a great danger his head would explode. Last week, these things happened: (1) A reader named Drew wrote to dispute a contention, made in this space, that black kids are “funneled” into the criminal injustice system. I LEONARD told Drew the claim is verified by simple math. For instance, PITTS in her book, “The New Jim Crow,” Michelle Alexander reports that white kids are a third more likely to have sold drugs than black kids. But in some states, blacks account for up to 90 percent of all drug offenders in prison. To which Drew responded, “Maybe you can find stats about drugs, but...” (2) A reader named Jean wrote, “Did it ever occur to you that black men often choose the criminal path as their vocation because they see it as a get-rich-scheme that requires less work ethic...?” Whereupon, I made the argument again, this time citing a study co-sponsored by the Justice Department. And Jean replied, “Now how many government studies do you really believe?” (3) The Miami Herald published an editorial attacking Florida Gov. Rick Scott’s Cabinet for approving a measure that will make it more difficult for nonviolent felons who have served their time to regain their right to vote. Because Florida jails African-Americans in disproportionate numbers, argued the editorial, the proposal has unavoidable “racial and partisan implications.” “This,” said the editorial, “will return

LETTERS THE EDITOR

Students provide a lesson in sharing

Moderately confused

Florida to the Jim Crow era, when such hurdles were created to prevent blacks from voting.” To which “OnLine,” writing on the paper’s message board, shot back, “Don’t become a felon and you need not worry.” And perhaps you can understand why the column feels futile. OnLine, Jean and Drew would doubtless protest that they are not racist. Perish the thought. They would doubtless tell you they are simply being objective. Which is funny, given the ease with which they bat aside objective fact. But then, that’s the state of critical thinking these days: ignore any inconvenient truth, any unsettling information that might force you to think or even look with new eyes upon, say, the edifice of justice. Accept only those “facts” that support what you already believe. And on this subject, what many people already believe could not be clearer: black equals crime. We’re talking about at the mitochondrial level. We’re talking a crime strand on the DNA. Black equals crime is a formulation as old as slave manacles and as modern as e-mail, the engine driving lynch mobs and lawmen who sold black men into slavery as late as 1945, and cops who pull black drivers over because ... And the tragedy is not simply that many white men and women embrace this damnable lie in the face of all refutation, but that black children hear it and breathe it in like poison till it becomes part of them, till it informs how they see themselves in the world. Some years ago, I posed a question to an audience of school kids. If a white person is murdered, what are the odds the assailant is black? Seventy-five percent? Hands — every hand in the room, it seemed — bolted into the air. Most of them belonged to black kids. For the record, the actual number is 13 percent. Not that it matters. This is a futile column, remember? And when people are determined to believe a lie, there is nothing more futile than the truth. • • • Leonard Pitts is a columnist for the Miami Herald, 1 Herald Plaza, Miami, Fla., 33132.

Preparing for battle over Smart Start funds From Democratic political consultant and Jim Hunt biographer Gary Pearce, blogging at www.talkingaboutpolitics.com:

As a volunteer at the Rowan Helping Ministeries West Food Pantry, I would like to thank Mt. Ulla Elementary School for the generous donation of canned foods. Twenty three hundred pounds of food is an overwhelming task to stock on the shelves, but an enjoyable one which will keep volunteers busy for quite a while. The Mt. Ulla community is small, but one with a big heart. — Millicent Hoffner Mt. Ulla

am watching a basketball game on TV with Randy, my 6-month-old grandson. It’s like watching a game while wrestling a 25-pound spider monkey. He grabs my nose, pulls my hair, shrieks in my ear, climbs up my chest, gouges my eyes and sucks on my chin. But he is an exceptionally cute spider monkey. And this is an exceptionally important game. It’s the Big SHARON West TournaRANDALL ment Championship, a showdown between top-seeded Long Beach State and the underdog, UC Santa Barbara. The game is important to the teams because the winner will claim both the Big West Tournament title and an automatic bid to advance to “The Show,” the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. But it’s important to me for a different reason: No. 33, a guard for UCSB, is Orlando Johnson. His grandmother, Virginia Jackson, was my friend. I met her through my late husband, who coached basketball at Monterey High School in California. Over the years, she sent him a lot of good players, sons and grandsons that she raised as her own. After every game, she thanked the coach for “investing” in her “babies” and told him that, win or lose, he was doing a good job. She worked as a nurse’s aide at the hospital and volunteered at church, PTA and the NAACP. When I went into labor, she stayed with me in the hospital, long beyond her shift, to hold my hand and make me breathe and get me through the births of three children. I can assure you there is much to love in that. She survived with remarkable dignity and grace more heartache than anyone I ever knew — from the death of her husband, to the murders, a year apart, of a son and a daughter, to the house fire that destroyed her home and took the lives of her elderly mother, a daughter, and two small grandchildren. I remember how proud she was of Orlando. The first time I saw “O,” he was just a toddler, running around the church at his mother’s funeral, hanging on his grandmother’s legs. When he was 3, he stayed at my house a few days while his grandmother was out of town. He and the coach went out back and taught each other some moves. Years later, after the coach died of cancer, Virginia called me in tears. “Honey,” she said, “I’ve been where you are and I know what you need. I’m sending you a platter of fried chicken.” When Orlando was 11, his grandmother’s big heart finally failed and his older brothers stepped up to try their best to fill her sizable shoes. Having grown up without a father, they gave Orlando an entire starting team of “dads” — brothers and uncles and others who are always there when he needs them, who show up at games to cheer him on, who remind him to do things like go up strong, and be aggressive, and move his big feet. Not that he needs reminding. Children are a work of faith. We never know how long we’ll have with them. We need to love them while we can, for whatever time we’re given, trusting that someone, if need be, will finish the work we’ve started, and hoping that somehow, if we’re lucky, we’ll be remembered. Suddenly the game is over and Orlando and his teammates are celebrating their victory over Long Beach State, and their chance, no matter how slim, to play in the Final Four. Somewhere, I suspect, his grandmother is celebrating, too. “Look at that,” I say, trying to divert the spider monkey’s attention from my nose to the TV. “O is big and quick and strong like his brothers. But he’s got his grandma’s smile.” • • • Contact Sharon Randall at P.O. Box 777394, Henderson NV 89077 or at randallbay@earthlink.net.

Good Samaritan While I was attending a memorial service at First Baptist Church Tuesday afternoon (March 15), some very thoughtful person noticed my car in the parking lot. More specifically, they noticed my right rear tire was nearly flat. They took the time to write a brief note that was left on my car where I would be sure to see it. Thank you, whoever you are, for alerting me to this dangerous situation. May God richly bless you for caring. — Lee Hall Salisbury

hould the legislature merge and cut Smart Start and More At Four? As the Geico guy might ask: “Is stirring up Jim Hunt a good idea?” Republican legislators apparently are hearing an earful from Hunt already. Those who weren’t around when he was governor will learn what one legislator back then told one of Hunt’s lobbyists: “Tell the governor to please stop calling me. I’ll vote for his bill.” Now, a consolidation of the two programs might be smart. More At Four always smacked of an effort to come up with a signature rhyming program like Smart Start, which began a decade earlier. But there’s a difference — and a history. PEARCE When Hunt created Smart Start in 1993, the policy experts gave him two options: Put the program in the public schools. Or put it under an existing — or new — state agency. Hunt rejected both. He thought the schools had all they could handle with K-12. And he didn’t trust a new bureaucracy. So he created a program that has no state government structure in Raleigh: it’s primarily a pass-through to send the money to local communities, which decide how to spend it. That created an army of local supporters – like church day care centers – in every legislator’s district. That was Hunt’s bulwark against what he knew would be an effort to dismantle Smart Start at some point. More At Four, I gather, is different. It’s run through the schools. One ploy the Republicans may try is pitting Smart Start against teachers: “We can avoid teacher layoffs, but that means severe cuts to Smart Start.” Count on it: That will mobilize both Hunt and Smart Start’s friends in 100 counties.

Radioactive plume reaches Southern California; no health threats

Obama says Gadhafi must stop attacks or face military action WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama demanded Moammar Gadhafi halt all military attacks on civilians and said that if the Libyan leader did not stand down the United States would join other nations in launching military action against him. But the president also stressed the United States “is not going to deploy ground troops into Libya.” In a brief appearance at the White House, Obama said Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton would travel to Paris today to join allies in discussing next steps in Libya. Obama’s remarks came less than 24 hours after the United Nations Security Council voted to authorize military action — including a “no-fly zone” over Libya — to prevent the killing of civilians by Gadhafi’s forces. Trying to outmaneuver Western military intervention, Gadhafi’s government declared a cease-fire Friday against the rebel uprising. But the opposition said shells continued to come down well after the announcement. There should be no doubt about the Libyan leader’s intentions “because he has made them clear,” Obama said. “Just yesterday, speaking of the city of Benghazi, a city of roughly 700,000, he threatened ‘we will have no mercy and no pity.’ No mercy on his own citizens.”

the moon is shown rising above the Jackson Building tower thursday in asheville. the full moon tonight will be bigger and brighter than normal as it makes its closest approach to earth in nearly 20 years.

Super full moon to shine tonight if clouds don’t obscure it LOS ANGELES (AP) — Tonight’s full moon won’t be just any old full moon. It’ll be bigger and brighter as it makes its closest approach to Earth in 18 years. Scientists estimate the “supermoon” rising in the east at sunset will appear 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter at its peak. Full moons vary in size because of the oval shape of its orbit, with one end closer to Earth. The moon will be 221,565 miles away today — the closest to Earth since March 1993. While it will be brighter than normal, it won’t be as luminous as the near-supermoon of 2008 when it was higher in the sky, said Geoff Chester of the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C. This celestial phenomenon should give people an excuse to take time out for the moon. Usually, “most people are completely oblivious to its presence,” Chester said.

Deficits $2.3 trillion more than White House estimates for decade WASHINGTON (AP) — A new assessment of President Barack Obama’s budget says the White House underestimates future budget deficits by more than $2 trillion over the upcoming decade. The estimate from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says that if Obama’s February budget submission is enacted into law it would produce deficits totaling $9.5 trillion over 10 years — an average of almost $1 trillion a year. Obama’s budget saw deficits totaling $7.2 trillion over the same period. The difference is chiefly because CBO has a less optimistic estimate of how much the government will collect in tax revenues, partly because the administration has rosier economic projections. But the agency also rejects the administration’s claims of more than $300 billion of that savings — to pay for preventing a cut in

Some seek to kick habit of raising cost of cigarettes co tax increases to plug budget holes, a few are bucking the national trend and saying, “If you smoke ‘em, we got ‘em,” looking at dropping the rate to boost cigarette sales. In New Hampshire, supporters argue that reducing the tax by a dime would help the state compete with Maine, Vermont and Massachusetts, while opponents say it would still lose millions of dollars even if higher sales resulted. New Hampshire’s House voted Thursday to reduce the tax and sent the bill to the Senate, where its prospects are uncertain. New Jersey and Rhode Island have also considered reducing their taxes. It’s very unusual for states to lower the tax, said Frank Chaloupka, an economics professor at the University of Illi<nois at Chicago. The sales increase isn’t enough to offset the drop in tax revenue, he said. States have enacted 100 increases over the past decade, he said. New Hampshire raised its tax repeatedly since Democratic Gov. John Lynch took office in 2006, increasing it from 52 cents per pack in 2005 to $1.78 currently. “New Hampshire has been going in the same direction as the rest of the country, basically forever,” Chaloupka said. The bill passed by the House would cut the rate 10 cents to $1.68 per pack. The

taxes are $2.51 in neighboring Massachusetts, $2 in Maine and $2.24 in Vermont. Rhode Island’s bill would cut its tax by $1, to $2.46 per pack compared with $3 in neighboring Connecticut. New Jersey last year considered reducing its tax 30 cents, to $2.40 per pack, but hasn’t followed through. When states raise the tax, revenue goes up even though sales decline, Chaloupka said. Over time, tobacco tax revenues gradually drop after a tax hike as smoking use declines, he said. To drive revenues back up, states have raised taxes again. The only time tax revenues

dropped after a state raised its tax was in 2006, when New Jersey raised its rate 17.5 cents, he said — though the revenue decline was more likely due to adoption of a comprehensive smoke-free policy. New Jersey raised the tax 12.5 cents in 2009 and revenue rose, he noted. Chaloupka asserted that any reduction in cigarette prices would add to Medicaid and other health care costs. The Campaign for TobaccoFree Kids estimates that if the New Hampshire cut is enacted it would mean more than $21 million in long-term health costs.

Car critic quits over changed Chrysler 200 review DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit News’ auto critic said Thursday that he resigned because editors demanded that he delete sections of a scathing review of the Chrysler 200, a car promoted in a popular Super Bowl television ad starring rapper Eminem. Scott Burgess’ original review made it into the newspaper’s March 10 print edition. But some of the most critical passages, including Burgess’ calling the sedan a “dog,” were removed from the paper’s online version. Burgess, 43, said he resigned Wednesday after meeting with the paper’s news editor and publisher, Jon Wolman.

He said he was told March 11 what to take out of the online version. Wolman acknowledged that the newspaper changed the online version after a car dealer complained about it. But he told the AP on Thursday that the paper’s editors did not try to change the negative tone of the review. Burgess’ online review did not include this passage, which was in the print version: “If this car came in tortoise shell, the EPA would have to put it on the endangered sedan list to prevent trappers and automotive enthusiasts from rightfully shooting it into extinction.”

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Federal and state officials sought Friday to dispel fears of a wider danger from radioactivity spewing from Japan’s crippled nuclear reactors, saying testing indicated there were no health threats along the West Coast of the U.S. Driven by winds over the Pacific Ocean, a radioactive plume released from the Fukushima Dai-ichi reached Southern California Friday, heightening concerns that the nuclear disaster was assuming international proportions. However, the results of testing reflected expectations by International Atomic Energy Agency officials that radiation had dissipated so much by the time it reached the U.S. coastline that it posed no health risk. Air pollution regulators in Southern California said they have not detected increased levels of radiation. In Alaska, Dr. Bernd Jilly, director of state public health laboratories, also said monitoring had shown no readings of above-normal levels of radiation. Japanese officials on Friday reclassified the rating of the accident at the plant from Level 4 to Level 5 on a seven-level international scale, putting it on a par with the 1979 Three Mile Island accident. And the government acknowledged it was slow to respond to the disaster that the prime minister called a “great test for the Japanese people.” The admission came as Japan welcomed U.S. help in stabilizing its overheated, radiation-leaking nuclear complex. Military fire trucks sprayed the reactor units Friday for a second day, with tons of water arcing over the facility in attempts to prevent the fuel from overheating and emitting more radiation.

According to the players and coaches assembled for the 2011 All-County basketball photo shoot Wednesday at Catawba, Salisbury’s Darien Rankin could have easily scored over 20 points a game this season. If he had wanted to. But that’s just it. Rankin, the repeat winner as Rowan County Player of the Year, wanted to win more than he sought individual stats. “You could ask Darien if he’d rather score 50 points and have a close game or not score and win the game,” said Salisbury coach Justin Morgan. “He’ll say he’d rather win.” Rankin averaged 15 points as the 6-foot-1 star became more of a rebounder, passer and defender. It all helped the Hornets to a Western Regional berth. A perfect example of Rankin’s team play came in the first game of the Moir Christmas Classic, a 98-66 win over South Rowan. He scored 12, but was one of six Hornets in double figures. Ah yes, the Moir Classic. The biggest sporting event of the year in Rowan County has been Rankin’s personal playground over the past three years. He was named MVP of the tournament for the third time. Rankin would score when his team needed him the most. In the Moir semifinals, he put up 20 points and sank two clutch free throws to beat the eventual 1A state champ North Rowan, 79-77. “You have to really prepare for him,” North coach Andrew Mitchell said. “It’s real scary. It’s like having to plan for Kobe

He took great pleasure in dishing to big men Jarrett Rivens and Alex Weant, or guards Corey Murphy and John Knox. “Darien accepted those guys and he was happy for them,” Morgan said. Other all-county players said they looked forward to playing Rankin. “It was a good experience for me to have somebody that athletic guarding me,” said West

East wins in nine

Kansas St. 73, Utah St. 68

GRANITE QUARRY — “If I pitch Will Johnson for 4 four innings again, E. Rowan Salisbury 3 please, just shoot me,” declared East Rowan coach Brian Hightower. “But I had to hang with him.” Johnson, East’s untouchable relief monster, worked 32⁄3 innings in a 4-3, nine-inning, non-conference win against Salisbury on Friday. The alternative to riding Johnson so long and hard was losing to the Hornets, and Hightower isn’t a fan of losing. Wesley LeRoy’s bases-loaded single with one out in the ninth gave the Mustangs (6-1) a hard-earned win, but they left Staton Field with increased respect for Salisbury and West Pointbound SHS southpaw Philip Tonseth, who went the distance and fought like he was already in a foxhole. “I just asked the guys to compete and give themselves a chance and they did that,” Salisbury coach Scott Maddox said. “We’re capable, but we hadn’t played like that this season.” It was a pitching duel. Junior Jared Mathis gave the Mustangs five strong innings, while Tonseth mystified East’s lethal lineup, which included two .600 hitters, with his curveball. “I was feeling it today, and I wasn’t coming out,” Tonseth said. “The whole team played up. I threw probably 75 percent curveballs, and the defense behind me was real solid.” Nathan Fulbright, one of those .600 hitters, drilled a Tonseth mistake over the fence in left for a 1-0 East lead in the second. Salisbury (2-2) tied it in the fourth on singles by John Knox and Nolan Meyerhoeffer, Kyle Wolfe’s sacrifice bunt and Tonseth’s sacrifice fly. Justin Morris’ double and Luke Thomas’ RBI single — he smoked it past the first-base bag — made it 2-1 Mustangs in the bottom of the fourth. Salisbury’s two-run sixth for a 3-2 lead included a solid RBI single to left by Wolfe against reliever Avery Rogers. Spencer Carmichael can tell his grandchildren he got a big hit off Johnson — a solid, first-pitch RBI-rip to right. East was in real danger when it batted in the sixth, but lefty swinger Ashton Fleming, who got into a quick 0-2 hole against Tonseth, managed to

hit a sac fly to left field for a 3-3 tie. “He was throwing so many curveballs, and we were having a hard time staying back,” said Fleming, who turned in two defensive gems at second base. “I knew I’d LEROY have to hit a curveball, and I got enough of it.” Johnson fanned the side in the seventh and got the Hornets 1-2-3 in the eighth. A sensational diving catch by Salisbury center fielder Brian Bauk helped out Tonseth in the East eighth. Scott Van der Poel mashed a double deep to the left-field bank with one out in the Salisbury ninth, but Johnson didn’t blink. He kept his ERA at 0.00 with two quick outs, and it was time for the Mustangs to hit again. “Philip had thrown about 120 pitches, but he was determined to win it or lose it,” Maddox said. “He’d waited four years to pitch against East.” The bottom of the ninth was wild. Fleming blooped a one-out single. Tonseth promptly picked him off, but Fleming escaped a rundown. “Actually, I swiped his back, but that’s a tough call for the umpire,” Tonseth said. “It happens.” When a wild pitch sent Fleming to second, Rogers was intentionally walked. After Fleming and Rogers turned a failed hit-and-run into a successful double steal, Gavin Wike was intentionally walked to load the bases for No. 9 hitter LeRoy, who stepped to the plate 0-for-3, including a strikeout and a double-play grounder. “Coach said he was giving me one swing, and then I was going to have to get a squeeze down,” LeRoy said. “I appreciate him giving me a swing.” Tonseth’s first pitch to LeRoy was a curveball, but in on his hands, rather than away where LeRoy expected it. LeRoy was jammed, but he was strong enough to muscle the ball over the infield to score the winning run. “I got lucky,” LeRoy said. “Tonseth is a great pitcher. Props to him.” Hightower wasn’t happy with his team at all, but his praise for the Hornets was genuine. “We had a bunch of terrible atbats, but credit Tonseth for baffling us and keeping us off-stride,” he said. “He was awesome, and his teammates played their tails off behind him.”

South is in first place BY DAVID SHAW dshaw@salisburypost.com

LANDIS — South Rowan’s baseball team has a new ad— first place S. Rowan 10 dress in the NPC. W. Iredell 2 The Raiders rode the elevator to the top floor Friday night with an efficient 10-2 win over visiting West Iredell. “I’ve said it before,” third-year coach Thad Chrismon quipped after South (4-2) improved to 3-0 in league play. “I really like this team. I like the enthusiasm and energy we brought to the field tonight.” There was much to admire against West (3-3, 2-2), one of the teams expected to challenge favored East Rowan for the conference title. The Raiders played errorless defense. They banged out a season-high 12 hits and chased losing pitcher Sam Laws — a right-hander who has drawn interest from Catawba and Mars Hill — in the third inning. Most importantly, South found itself an ace pitcher in Matt Miller. Blending a darting fastball with a menacing slider and a biting curve, the junior right-hander pitched a completegame four-hitter and delivered the Raiders to unexpected heights. “I never felt this good after a game in my life,” Miller said. “I was hitting my spots. My arm was alive. And the defense was great behind me.” Miller struck out eight batters, walked none and induced nine groundouts. His lone mistake was poled over the fence in left-center field by WI slugger Sean Grant for a fourth-inning homer.

“But even then,” South catcher Eric Tyler noted, “he bounced right back. He didn’t stay down.” Miller responded by fanning the next three hitters. West’s final run crossed on a seventh-inning wild pitch. “My hitters told me he had good movement on all of his pitches,” said losing coach Randy Martin. “But he beat us with his fastball. We couldn’t square up on him.” South had no such problem against Laws. Tyler floated a two-run double down the rightfield line to open the scoring in the last of the first. Two innings later, Preston Penninger was hit with an 0-2 fastball with the bases loaded to make it 3-0. By the time Jacob Dietz lined an RBI single to center TYLER it was 6-0. The rest was up to Miller (2-0, 2.04 ERA), who pitched like he had a roast in the oven. He finished off a briskly played game by sneaking a knee-buckling, 3-2 slider past Vance Robinette. “If he does stuff like that,” Chrismon said afterward, “he can pitch for me any day of the week.” Last night Miller did it for a firstplace team. “We’re going with our hair on fire, trying to beat every team in this conference,” he said. “We’ve got a good chance.” 

NOTES: South visits A.L. Brown at 2 p.m today and hosts Carson on Monday. ... Tyler added a two-run single in South’s four-run sixth. He finished 3for-4 with four RBIs.

Gantt gets No. 500; West Rowan wins first From staff reports

Baseball roundup ... Catawba head coach Jim Gantt logged his 500th victory as the Indians (21-5) won at Anderson 4-3 on Friday. Nick Lomascolo pitched another gem, and Chris Dula had the tiebreaking hit in the eighth.  Chandler Jones clubbed three doubles, and Ethan Wansley and Patrick Hampton homered as West Rowan pounded Statesville 21-6 for its first victory of the season on Friday. Steven Wetmore was the winning pitcher in the NPC contest. “Not the cleanest game, but it’s a win, and that’s something to build on,” West coach Chad Parker said.  Carson romped 14-1 at North Iredell as Joseph Basinger knocked in six runs. Basinger belted a two-run

double and a three-run homer. Austin Bracewell was the winner in the fiveinning affair. “Good approaches. We hit the ball extremely well off the good part of the bat,” Carson coach Chris Cauble said.  North Rowan made seven errors and lost 10-7 to West Montgomery.  Davie smashed West Forsyth 151 in five innings for a CPC win. Ryan Foster was the winning pitcher. He also homered and knocked in five. Alex Newman drove in four.  A.L. Brown lost a crazy SPC game to Central Cabarrus, erasing an 8-0 deficit to grab a lead, but eventually losing 14-12. Alex Fesperman and Caleb Jackson banged out four hits each. Tyler Freeze went 3-for-4.  Northwest Cabarrus lost 6-5 in 11 innings to Mount Pleasant despite an early grand slam by Jarrin Hogue.

Edwards, Biffle resume strong runs at Bristol

Recapping Friday’s NCAA Tournament action ... CLEVELAND — George Mason has another fantastic March story to tell. Luke Hancock hit a 3-pointer with 21 seconds left, capping the Patriots’ comeback and keeping the one-time NCAA tournament darlings playing with a 61-57 win over Villanova on Friday. Villanova missed its last shot and Mike Morrison slammed home one final basket for the Patriots (27-6), who will play Ohio State on Sunday in the East region. This was the latest and last collapse for the Wildcats (21-12), who end the season on a six-game losing streak. They were once ranked as high as No. 5 but failed to get out of the first weekend of the NCAA tournament for the second straight year. Hancock scored 18 points, and Morrison had 10 points and 11 rebounds for George Mason, which won its opening tournament game for the first time since its Final Four run in 2006. The eighth-seeded Patriots trailed by 10 in the first half only to inch their way back. Ohio State 75, Texas-San Antonio 46 CLEVELAND — William Buford scored 18 points, freshman Jared Sullinger added 11, and Ohio State looked every inch the part of a No. 1 overall seed in rolling to victory. Playing just a two-hour drive from their Columbus campus, the Buckeyes (33-2) were cheered on by more than 15,000 fans, who made Quicken Loans Arena feel just like home. Ohio State built a 16-point halftime lead, ballooned it to 38 in the second half against the No. 16 seed Roadrunners (20-14). Devin Gibson scored 24 to lead UTSA. Ohio State will play George Mason, a 61-57 winner over Villanova, on Sunday. Marquette 66, Xavier 55 CLEVELAND — Darius Johnson-Odum scored 19 points, Jimmy Butler had 15 and Marquette squashed Xavier’s bid for a fourth straight round of 16 appearance. The win was the first in the NCAA tournament for the 11th-seeded Golden Eagles (21-14) in two years. Marquette will play Indiana State or Syracuse on Sunday in the East region. The sixth-seeded Musketeers (24-8) and Michigan State were the only two programs to reach the round of 16 each of the last three tournaments. Xavier’s Tu Holloway, the Atlantic 10 player of the year, missed his first seven shots and scored only five points. Notre Dame 69, Akron 56 CHICAGO — Ben Hansbrough scored 15 points despite another sub-par shooting game and Tim Abromaitis added 14 as second-seeded Notre Dame fought off scrappy Akron in the Southwest region. Notre Dame (27-6) will meet Florida State on Sunday at the United Center. The Irish led 34-30 at the half before scoring the first nine points of the second to build their lead to double digits, then held off the cold-shooting Zips. Hansbrough, the Big East Player of the Year who shot just 3-for-16 in a loss to Louisville in the semifinals of the conference tourney, hit just 4-of-11 from the field but was 6-for-6 from the line and had six assists. Florida State 57, Texas A&M 50 CHICAGO — Derwin Kitchen scored 15 points, and the 10th-seeded Seminoles won an NCAA tournament game for the first time in 13 years. Bernard James added 10 points, keying a go-ahead run in the second half, and Florida State (22-10) advanced even though star Chris Singleton struggled in his return from a broken right foot, finishing with five points and four fouls. Khris Middleton led Texas A&M (24-9) with 16 points. Florida State will play Notre Dame on Sunday. Purdue 65, St. Peters 43 CHICAGO — E’Twaun Moore scored 19 points and JuJuan Johnson added 16 with 16 rebounds to help the Boilermakers advance in the Southwest region. The Boilermakers (26-7), who made the round of 16 the previous two seasons, will face the Georgetown-Virginia Commonwealth winner Sunday for a return trip. Winning their first game in the NCAA tournament is commonplace for the Boilermakers. They’ve now captured their opener in their last 13 appearances. Texas 85, Oakland 81 TULSA, Okla. — Tristan Thompson had 17 points, 10 rebounds and seven blocked shots, and Texas survived a second-half comeback by high-scoring Oakland in a West regional. Thompson controlled his head-to-head matchup with Summit League Player of the Year Keith Benson much of the game. The Longhorns’ freshman standout also got plenty of help from Jordan Hamilton, his frontcourt partner, who finished with 19 points and 10 rebounds. The No. 4 seed Longhorns (28-7) led by 15 with less than 5 minutes remaining, but the Golden Grizzlies cut the lead to 80-75 with 1:23 left. Texas then hit five free throws in the final minute to hold on for the win. Arizona 77, Memphis 75 TULSA, Okla. — Derrick Williams had 22 points and 10 rebounds, and blocked a potential tying shot in the final seconds to seal Arizona’s win in the second round. Joe Jackson hit the first of two free throws with 5 seconds left, then missed the second to give the 12th-seeded Tigers a shot at the tie. Wesley Witherspoon grabbed the offensive rebound at the right block, but Williams came over to swat it away and send the Wildcats into a Sunday game against fourth-seeded Texas. Lamont “MoMo” Jones added 18 points for Arizona (28-7), including the go-ahead 3-pointer with 1:35 to play. He added two free throws with 7.4 seconds left to make it a three-point game.

tire issues when the ones at Bristol failed to lay enough rubber on the track surface. Typically, as drivers run more laps, rubber grounds into the surface and alleviates excessive wear. But it didn’t happen after a full day of track activity Friday, even after the sun came out and the track surface got hotter. Drivers were only able to go about 30 laps before their right-side tires wore down to the cords. So Goodyear called for about 1,300 new tires to be shipped from North Carolina to Bristol in time for the Nationwide Series race on Saturday.

Lebron drops 43 Associated Press

The NBA roundup ... ATLANTA — LeBron James scored 43 points, including 23 in a dominant third quarter, and the Miami Heat beat the Atlanta Hawks 10685 on Friday night. Chris Bosh had 17 points and 10 rebounds, and Dwyane Wade had 14 points as Miami rolled to the runaway win in its first visit of the season to Atlanta. James made 16 of 21 shots, including five 3-pointers. The Heat took the lead for good midway through the opening period and put the game away in such convincing fashion that James and the other starters sat out the final period. Pacers 115, Bulls 108, OT INDIANAPOLIS — Tyler Hansbrough had 29 points and 12 rebounds to help Indiana beat Chicago in overtime, snapping the Bulls’ eightgame winning streak. Danny Granger scored 19 points and Darren Collison added 17 for the Pacers, who have won three of four. Derrick Rose tied a career high with 42 points for the Bulls. He scored 19 points in the fourth quarter and made three free throws with 1.2 seconds left to force overtime. Luol Deng added 21 points for the Bulls. Chicago entered the game with the best record in the Eastern Conference, and could have been the first team in the East to win 50 games. Spurs 97, Mavericks 91 DALLAS — Tony Parker scored 33 points, Manu Gino-

bili had 25 and Tim Duncan added 22, lifting San Antonio over Dallas. Playing for the first time since losing to Miami by 30 on Monday night, the Spurs looked hungry and rested from the start, jumping ahead by 18 early in the second quarter. Then the Mavericks cranked up the defense and made things interesting. Rockets 93, Celtics 77 HOUSTON — Kevin Martin scored 25 points, rookie Patrick Patterson had 18 points and a career-high 12 rebounds and Houston routed Boston. Kyle Lowry scored 20 and had nine assists and Chuck Hayes had 11 points and 11 rebounds for the Rockets, who’ve won three in a row and moved within 11/2 games of Memphis in the race for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. Jeff Green scored 17 points and Glen Davis added 16 for the Celtics, who’ve lost four of six. Boston slipped a half game behind Chicago for the best record in the East. Thunder 99, Bobcats 82 OKLAHOMA CITY — Kevin Durant scored 25 points, Serge Ibaka added 12 points, 13 rebounds and five blocked shots, and Oklahoma City beat Charlotte. James Harden added 21 points for the Thunder, who extended their winning streak to a season-best six games, all against Eastern Conference foes. The Thunder are 22-6 this season against the East with two games left, including against Toronto on Sunday.

‘Canes win in OT Associated Press

The NHL roundup ... RALEIGH — Joni Pitkanen scored at 3:58 of overtime to give Carolina a 3-2 win against the New York Islanders. Erik Cole set up the extra period for the Hurricanes with a tying goal at 15:23 of the third. Jeff Skinner scored his 25th goal and had an assist on Pitkanen’s winner for Carolina, giving him an NHL rookie-leading 52 points. The win ended a twogame home losing streak and put the Hurricanes in ninth place in the Eastern Conference with 76 points. Eighthplace Buffalo also has 76 points and two games in hand. Capitals 3, Devils 0 NEWARK, N.J. — Rookie Michal Neuvirth stopped 33 shots for his fourth shutout and the Washington Capitals put another dagger in the New Jersey Devils’ playoff hopes with a 3-0 victory on Friday night. Defenseman Jeff Schultz broke an 81-game goal drought and Alex Ovechkin made a pair of fantastic passes to set up

goals by goals by Mike Knuble as the Capitals bounced back from a loss to Detroit and won for the 13th time in 16 games, despite putting only 12 shots on goal.

Rangers 6, Canadiens 3 NEW YORK — Ryan Callahan, Marian Gaborik and Brian Boyle scored 1:07 apart in the Rangers’ highest-scoring first period in more than 11 years, and New York held on for a key victory. The Rangers and Canadiens, fighting for playoff positioning in the Eastern Conference with about three weeks left in the season, staged a postseason-like show at Madison Square Garden. New York, in seventh place, moved within five points of sixth-place Montreal with 10 games left for both teams. More importantly, the Rangers are four points ahead of Buffalo and Carolina.

George Mason’s Luke Hancock hit a 3-pointer with 21 seconds left to beat Villanova.

BRISTOL, Tenn. — Roush Fenway Racing continued its strong qualifying runs Friday by sweeping the pole at Bristol Motor Speedway. Carl Edwards turned a lap of 128.014 mph in a Ford to knock teammate Greg Biffle from the top starting spot for Sunday’s race. Biffle’s lap of 127.622 mph was good enough for second. It gave a RFR driver the pole for the third consecutive race. Edwards won the pole in Phoenix and Matt Kenseth won the pole at Las Vegas, where Edwards picked up his first win of the season. Regan Smith qualified a career-best third in a Chevrolet, and his 6.25 qualifying average this season is best in the Sprint Cup Series. Paul Menard was fourth in a Chevy, and David Ragan was fifth to put three Roush drivers in the top five. “This is fun; the cars have

just been great,” Edwards said. “Greg motivated me. I didn’t think anybody was going to be able to go that fast. I thought that the track had slowed down a lot more than that, so I was out there driving my heart out.” It was Edwards’ ninth career pole, second of the season and fifth in the last 19 races. For Biffle, it was a nice start to the weekend after his disastrous run at Las Vegas two weeks ago. Although he thought his car was just a tick off from Edwards’ race-winner, a series of problems in the pits led to a 28th-place finish. He’s 32nd in the points — dangerously close to falling outside the top-35 and having to qualify on speed to make the race. “That would definitely be a concern of mine — having to qualify in the show, being the organization that we are and having fast cars this year,” Biffle said. “We arguably had one

The All-Rowan County boys basketball team is, Front row, from left: John Knox (Salisbury), Sam Starks (North), Keshun Sherrill (West), Darien Rankin (Salisbury), Johnathan Gaddy (South) and B.J. Sherill (West). Second Row, Pierre Givens (North), Jarvis Morgan (West), Jarrett Rivens (Salisbury), Malik Ford (North), Nick Houston (Carson) and Javon Hargrave (North).

Three teams made regional BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com

Obviously, it was a great year in the county for boys basketball, with North winning the 1A state championship and Salisbury and West making the regionals. The annual list of a dozen individual all-county honorees could have been stretched to 18. Salisbury seniors Alex Weant and Corey Murphy, North’s regional MVP T.J. Bates, South All-NPC picks Mark McDaniel and Josh Medlin and West defensive stopper Domonique Noble (West was 13-2 with him in the lineup) aren’t here. You could make a good case for all of them, and you could take those six and win a lot of games. Four Cavaliers are on the team, with Salisbury and West getting three each. South and Carson contributed one nobrainer apiece to the squad. The coaches had a lot of input, but deciding the last few spots still took some debate. The team: Keshun Sherrill, West, Jr. There can’t be a better 5foot-9 player in the state. Sherrill missed two games with a hip injury and still poured in 569 points — the seventh-highest scoring season in West history. He led the county in scoring with 21.1 points a game,

with a low of 14 points — no kidding, a low of 14 — and that was with every opponent focusing on him. Sherrill had games of 37 and 36 points — two of the top 10 individual scoring games in West history — against quality opponents. In a Western Regional semifinal against 3A champ Hunter Huss, the most talented team West faced, he had 28 points (10-for-18 shooting) against a 6-6 defender. Darien Rankin, SHS, Sr. The Rowan County Player of the Year didn’t need to score 21 points a game for Salisbury to be successful because he played on a team with five scoring threats. He averaged a human 15.1 points a game, but when Salisbury needed him to take over, when the Hornets absolutely had to have a hoop, he took over. And when he made up his mind to go to the rim, there wasn’t much anyone could do to stop him. Rankin led Salisbury to Moir Classic, CCC and sectional titles. A winner? No doubt about it. The No. 3 scorer all-time at Salisbury with 1, 378 points — and that’s going all the way back to the use of peach baskets. He’ll go down as one of the best football/basketball athletes the county’s seen. Signed with UNC for foot-

ball. Nick Houston, Carson, Sr. The 6-2 Houston reached 1,000 points for his career in Carson’s final game and finished his career as the No. 2 scorer in school history. He was one of the top longdistance shooters in the county, averaging 18.2 points per game and scoring a schoolrecord 37 against West Iredell. He improved in every aspect of the game as a senior, and he usually made the Cougars competitive. Samuel Starks, North, Sr. The 5-10 Starks combined explosive athletic ability with determined defense and a smooth 3-point shot and was one of the county’s top five players. There were an awful lot of games in which a dunk by Starks or a steal by Starks got the 1A state champion Cavaliers rolling. He led a balanced team’s scoring with 11.1 points per game and popped in 19 (9-for16 shooting) on his way to state championship game MVP honors. Javon Hargrave, North, Sr. Runner-up for YVC Player of the Year honors, Hargave used his strength and bulk to give North a powerful post presence. He scored 19 points in the monumental Western Regional final against Winston-Salem Prep and averaged 10.5 points

a game for the season. He finished 10th in school history with 903 points. Signed with South Carolina State for football. Johnathan Gaddy, South, Sr. The 5-9 Gaddy made one of the biggest jumps anyone’s ever made from his quiet junior season to his astounding senior year. He credited an offseason spent playing virtually non-stop for his improvement. Very quick and tough to stay in front of, Gaddy averaged 3.3 points as a junior and 20.1 (second in the county) as a senior. His breakout season included a 33-point effort against NPC champ Statesville. Gaddy’s 462 points rank seventh on South’s all-time chart for single-season scoring and his 20.1 points per game ranks fourth. Jarrett Rivens, Salisbury, Jr. The 6-6 Rivens came out of nowhere to score, block shots and dominate the boards. A newcomer to Salisbury after a move from Virginia, the lefty developed into an inside force for the Hornets in January and February. He averaged 10.2 points a game for the season and bumped that to 14 ppg over the Hornets’ final 13 games. He had a 21-point outburst against Cuthbertson in a sectional final. B.J. Sherrill, West, Sr. The 6-1 Sherrill was such a great football QB that he never got proper credit for being a very solid basketball player. He made 3s, he used his thick body to drag down bushels of rebounds, and he was as good a leader as it’s possible to be. He averaged 12.5 points, second on the team, and topped 700 for his career. Pierre Givens, North, Jr. After he joined the team in December for the Christmas tournament, it was clear the Cavaliers had a chance to make a run. He wound up playing basically a full season — 23 games. The 6-2 Givens’ scoring average of 8.8 didn’t really describe his value. He was a clever ballhandler, a slick passer, a dedicated defender and a surprisingly tough rebounder for a guard. He was a streaky outside shooter, but he usually was on in big games. He made many momentum-swinging 3s at the end of quarters — including a memorable one in the 1A state title game. John Knox, Salisbury, Sr.

Jon Lakey/SALISBURY POST

West Rowan’s Keshun Sherrill, left, was a big scorer, while Salisbury’s Jarrett Rivens was a big man inside. The things that can be said about B.J. Sherrill also can be said about Knox, Salisbury’s football QB. He brought a lot of refuse-to-lose leadership to the floor for the Hornets, made some big 3s and knocked down critical foul shots. He averaged 12.6 points per game as a senior and finished 21st all-time at Salisbury in scoring with 737 points. Malik Ford, North, So. The tall, springy youngster — he’s listed at 6-7 — has only scratched the surface of what he may become, but he wants to be great, he works at it, and that’s a big step in the process. Ford’s scoring average (7.2 points per game) wasn’t

overwhelming, but he produced dunks and blocked shots that swung games. His back-to-back slams in the state championship game were a huge part of North’s comeback from 19 down. Jarvis Morgan, West, Jr. A football receiver, the 6-3 Morgan used his athleticism to help West make a late-season charge to 18 wins. Not a shooter, but he averaged 10.0 points by running the floor for layups and fighting for stickbacks. He had the defensive wingspan of a much taller player and that led to a lot of steals, a lot of deflections and quite a few dunks.

Ties brought team to 14 BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com

We always shoot for 12, and we’ll shoot for 12 again in 2012. But there are 14 this time — call it a three-way tie for 12th — because it made no sense to leave any of these 14 off. State champ Salisbury had five girls that were automatic, while North, East and South all won often enough that they deserved a representative. Carson and West won 18 games each. Both had three no-doubters. Sometimes we don’t have to consider freshmen, but Salisbury’s Brielle Blaire was one of the county’s best five, and West’s Nycieko Dixon arguably was in the top 10. Basically, it was just a fantastic year for girls basketball in the county. Several girls — South’s Lauren Miller, East’s Karleigh Wike, Carson’s Tyesha Phillips and North’s Tiffany Brown come to mind — didn’t make this team but made their respective all-conference teams. The team: Ashia Holmes, SHS, Sr. The 5-8 standout’s 10.4 points per game didn’t tell the story. Her defense (seven steals in the 2A state championship game) and ballhandling made the Hornet machine hum. The Western Regional MVP and championship game MVP, she had a triple-double (10 steals) in a game against Lexington. Signed with Radford. Ayanna Holmes, SHS, Sr. Scored 8.8 points per game, but that was the tip of the iceberg. At 5-8, she brought the same winning priorities to the table that her twin did — defense first, pass second, rebound third, score fourth. Christmas tournament MVP and has 11 assists in the state title game. Signed with Charlotte. Brielle Blaire, SHS, Fr. People say she’s 6-foot-4. I’m convinced she’s more like 6-1. One thing everyone agrees on is she’s already an unbelievable player and her potential is unlimited. She led the state champions in scoring as a freshman (11.5 ppg) and poured in 20 (10-for-18) in the state championship game. Blaire can score inside or outside at will, and she’s only going to get better as a shotblocker and rebounder.

She averaged just under 10 points a game. Signed with GardnerWebb. Allison Blackwell, Carson, So. On the road to being the program’s first 1,000-point scorer, she’s more than halfway there. The 5-9 Blackwell and Dulkoski tied for seventh in county scoring with 11.7 points per game. Blackwell rebounds aggressively and scores on everything from stickbacks to 3-pointers. Averaged 15.4 ppg in Carson’s last seven outings. Chloe Monroe, Carson, Jr. Had to lead the county in 3-point shooting percentage. She was fourth in scoring (12.0 ppg), adding a lot of layups off steals to her impressive stack of 3s. The 5-5 Monroe’s high game was 23 points in a win against West Rowan, and she’s already Carson’s alltime scoring leader. Nycieko Dixon, West, Fr. Only 5-4 but very quick, she mixed enough 3-pointers with her fastbreak layups to score 11.2 points per game. She topped 20 points in backto-back NPC outings. Dixon put up a 300-point freshman season, which makes her just about a lock for 1,000 down the road. Nicole Barringer, South, Sr. The 5-9 Barringer, is a volleyball setter first, but she found consistency down the stretch, shot the lights out and wrapped up her basketball career in style. She averaged a team-high 9.6 points a game and pushed that average to 11.7 over South’s last 15 games. In her final two outings, she totaled 41 against West and East. Teaunna Cuthbertson, North, Jr. Played a lot of the season at less than 100 percent, but not many girls could bound into a passing lane, make a Jon Lakey/SALISBURY POST steal and zoom down the West’s Shay Steele was always a shot-blocking threat while East’s 6-foot Olivia Sabo was a good outside shooter. floor for a layup like this 5-8 track star could.

McNeil is outside the box BY RYAN BISESI rbesesi@salisburypost.com

With the biggest game of Chris McNeil's coaching career ahead of him, he had to bring in the big boys. Literally. With the Hornets facing East Bladen in the 2A state title game for the second straight year, that meant going up against the imposing center Courtney Melvin, a East Carolina signee at 6foot-2 and 250 pounds. Intimidating, but she had nothing on Kiontae Rankin. That's right, McNeil brought in the brother of current Salisbury senior Darien Rankin in practice sessions the week of the game to simulate Melvin. Rankin, a former all-county nose guard for the Hornets, provided a colossal 6-foot-4, 390-pound presence that more than prepared Salisbury to deal with anything East threw at them in Chapel Hill. The result? Melvin scored just 10 points on 3 of 7 shooting and Salisbury cruised to a win that was as easy as any of their Central Carolina Conference victories in a 76-44 romp. McNeil's outside the box and outside the gender thinking was at the forefront of another banner season for the premier girls basketball program in the state. The Hornets were McNeil's first stop in the head coaching ranks a the high school level with a pretty successful trial run. McNeil, a '92 graduate of

Durham Hillside High and a Livingstone Alum, is the Post's Coach of the Year after leading the Hornets to their third straight state championship and a 27-1 record. After losing to 4-A Charlotte Butler in the first game, Salisbury was unstoppable, reeling off 27 straight wins. The ride to another state championship was almost flawlessly smooth. “It's just a matter of keeping them focused and they've been focused all year,” McNeil said. “It’s just a blessing to be able to coach such a special group. What better way to end it than with another state title.” With four of its starting five signed to play in college, the Hornets had an abundance of talent, but McNeil said it still had to be nurtured. “Talent without discipline is an appetite for destruction,” McNeil said Wednesday from Goodman Gym. “They needed someone to come in and guide what was already in place. Some coaches come in and try to implement something new. We just kept it simple. My main focus was defensive intensity creates offensive success.” That said, McNeil deters the success to his players. He coached at the middle school level for years and headed up boys AAU teams during the summer. Former Salisbury girls and North Rowan coach Andrew Mitchell helped McNeil get started in the coaching circuit through Bobby

Jackson’s summer camp at Livingstone. “The coaching's the easy part,” he said. “The players are the ones that go out and do the work. I’m just lucky to be a part of something this special.” And thanks to Mrs. McNeil, they were both state champions in 2011. “My principal and athletic director called me to the office one day and said ‘we have an opportunity you won’t be able to say no to,’” McNeil said. “I told them I need to check with my wife. Once she approved it, the sky was the limit.” There was little internal drama with the Hornets this season. Coming off their second-straight state title, the Hornets' only adversity would be adjusting to a new coach after Mitchell left to coach the boys team at North. “He came in and told us what we had to do,” said Player of the Year Ashia Holmes. “So we just did it.” With so much experience on the roster, the Hornets overcame a lack of a big scorer and missing key reserve Doreen Richardson for several games during the regular season and playoffs. “It's a group of girls so you're going to have situations come up,” Holmes said. “There were new girls coming in so everybody had to adjust. I think he was the right man for the position because he knew everybody.” And now he knows how to win.

The ride to a state basketball championship is rarely smooth, and there were numerous speed-bumps for North Rowan’s Andrew Mitchell, the Rowan County Coach of the Year. North finished 27-5, all grins and hugs and on top of the 1A world, but the Cavaliers faced dark, dismal days the first week of February. On Feb. 1, North got mashed at West Montgomery, falling behind 19-4 in the first quarter of the YVC game and losing 74-54 to a team that shot 57 percent from the field. Six days later, the Cavaliers faltered again in their league, a wrenching 79-76 overtime loss at Albemarle in which Albemarle’s freshman point guard Gregory Childress shot 17for-18 from the foul line. At that point, North was worried about staying in the YVC race. Only the optimists drinking green tea and wearing green sunglasses indoors were still dreaming about a state title. “A real tough time,” Mitchell admitted. “A lot of negative things were being said about me, about my team and about our school.” It did seem like it was the Cavaliers against the world, and they weren’t helping themselves any with their struggles to make free throws. Mitchell was convinced he’d never get another call, but the Cavs snapped out of it and came through that rough period tougher mentally. And then they started playing at their highest level of the season physically. “We became humble,” Mitchell said. “We started working harder and talking less. Looking back, that was the turning point.” The loss at Albemarle initially crushed Javon Hargrave. For the rugged senior post man, Albemarle had become as bitter a rival as Salisbury and West Rowan. “That loss to Albemarle was a hard loss,” Hargrave said. “But I think it was the best loss I’ve ever had.” Coaches always hope their team can learn from wins, but the deepest lessons can only come through the misery of painful defeat. “Albemarle brought us all together,” Hargrave said. North wouldn’t lose again. The road to redemption angled through the country, to South Davidson High in rural Denton, site of the YVC tournament, where the Cavaliers (the second seed) had to beat West Montgomery and Albemarle on backto-back nights to earn a No. 1 sectional seed. On Feb. 17, North beat West Montgomery 58-56 in OT. This time West Montgomery shot 44 percent. This time North made its free throws. Twenty-four hours later, North beat Albemarle 58-54. Childress swished six 3s but the Cavs could live with that. The key stat was that Childress attempted zero free throws. Those two fierce games in Denton were the stepping stone to monumental wins against loaded Winston-Salem Prep in the Western Regional final and Pender in the state championship game. North trailed Prep by 11 but won 92-85 in double overtime. North fell behind Pender by 19 in the second quarter but rallied to prevail 64-57. “In the first half of the championship game, our emotions were so great we were making the game of basketball very hard,” Mitchell said. “We got them settled down, and we threw five or six guys at their best player (Addison Spruill). He wanted to go

Only Superman wouldn’t have gotten worn down.” North had no one who averaged more than 11.1 points (guard Sam Starks), but it had enough balance to average 66.6 points per game. It was defensively where the Cavaliers performed at historic levels. Their 47.1 points per game allowed was the stingiest defensive effort at the school since 1982. “We used a lot of different combinations, and we did defend,” Mitchell said. “There were times we had four big guys out there. Other times, we had five guys on the floor who had all been point guards. The big thing is we had tough-minded kids who were unselfish. No one worried about scoring 20. Everyone worried about keeping the guys on the other team from scoring 20.” Mitchell gave major credit to assistant coaches Bill Kesler and Tim Bates. “I saw (all-county junior) Pierre Givens as a 2, a 3 or a 4,” Mitchell said. “It was Coach Kesler who told me, ‘This guy is a point guard.’ ” Givens was indeed a point guard, and he provided a new dimension after he debuted in late December. The player who improved the most was sophomore T.J. Bates, who made clutch free throws in all of North’s tough tests down the stretch. “T.J. is a National Honor Society kind of guy, but he’s also tough and physical and he’ll guard anyone,” Mitchell said. “He was beating up his own teammates in preseason, but he learned how to defend people physically, but legally.” Mitchell lavished praise on Kelly Everhart, the head coach who preceded him. North was 20-6 in 2009-10 under Everhart with many of the same players and won the YVC. “I came into a great situation,” Mitchell said. “The players had been well-prepared. Kelly did a lot with them. They knew how to play basketball.” It also was Everhart who came up with a scouting report on Pender that Mitchell said was right on the money. “Kelly was always supportive, and that was big of him,” Mitchell said. “We were teammates at North (Everhart graduated in 1982, Mitchell in 1984). I backed up Kelly as a receiver and punter on the football team and at point guard on the basketball team. “This was a great opportunity to kind of back him up coaching this team.” Mitchell said the team gave Everhart a medal. In time, Mitchell will receive his shiny championship ring. “He is a great coach,” Hargrave said. “He pushed us hard.”

Two of the biggest winners in Rowan County were Salisbury’s John Knox, left, and West Rowan’s B.J. Sherrill.

Dear Seniors: Thanks for the memories ednesday at Catawba, some of us wanted to shed a tear during the all-county photo shoot as we looked around Goodman Gym at all of those seniors. Special seniors. Darien Rankin and John Knox of Salisbury. Sam Starks and Javon Hargrave of North. B.J. Sherrill of West. Don’t forget Salisbury’s Olivia Rankin, Ashia and Ayanna Holmes and Jessica Heilig. RONNIE They have wowed GALLAGHER us in football and basketball for the past three seasons and Wednesday may have been their last glorious time together. Over the past three years, those nine have given us five state titles in basketball, four in football and two in track. They have led Rowan County to the top of the high school world in North Carolina. “It’s a strong senior class,” Starks understated. “Everybody’s an athlete.” And the best part about those nine seniors? They are simply great kids, who not only competed against each other, but enjoyed every minute of it. “I’ve played against them since I was yay-high,” Rankin said. “You never had to worry about trash talking. It was all fun.” “It’s a great athletic county,” Sherrill said. “There’s a bunch of

HOLMES FROM 1B markable Rowan County senior class, played tenacious defense and showed leadership skills at the point to define the Hornets' relentless, yet under control style. She averaged 10.4 points six steals and seven rebounds per game this year and had 857 points in four seasons on the varsity squad. Those aren’t gaudy stats by any means, but her value was measured on the defensive end of the floor the most. With Salisbury forcing around 20 turnovers a game and keeping a large part of their offense in transition, the Hornets wore other teams out. “On the defensive end, I felt like I kicked it up another notch this year,” Holmes said. “I applied more steals this year.” That tenacity was demonstrated the most in the waning

The quarterbacks rooted for each other on Dec. 12 when Sherrill and West won a football title in the afternoon and Knox and Salisbury won one at night. “It was fun to see those guys do good,” Sherrill smiled, “except against us, of course.” • So in a fond farewell to the most talented senior class to ever come through Rowan County, here’s some basketball honors the athletic banquets might forget: Most Famous Street: Wonder if the people who live on Proctor Drive realize how famous that road is. North coach Andrew Mitchell lives there. Across the street is West football coach Scott Young. Both have three straight state championships. “My wife said we were competing to see who is the king of the neighborhood,” Mitchell chuckled.

rill added, “It was fun, but it wasn’t that good. He beat us dating back to middle school. I’m glad I don’t have to play against him again.” Asked if he ever guarded Rankin, B.J. laughed. “I was way too slow to guard him.” Perhaps Rankin’s best matchups came against North’s Sam Starks,

moments of Salisbury's toughest game of the season, a 47-43 win at North Surry in the sectional final. The Hornets won their first two playoff games by an average of 42.5 points, but faced a worthy Greyhounds squad that had the ball down one with 26 seconds to play. Holmes led Salisbury with 14 points in that game despite fouling out. Her sister bombarded Morgan Midkiff on North’s final possession to cause a jump ball. “I believe that was the wildest game we played all year,” Holmes said. “She goes 110 in a 55 mile per hour zone all the time,” Salisbury coach Chris McNeil said. “What makes her special is she's able to adjust quickly.” Of course, Holmes didn't have to do it all by herself. With three other starters already committed to play college basketball and Brielle Blaire already receiving attention as a freshman, the scoring

Jarrett Rivens moved in from Virginia and dominated inside. Best Debut: To Mitchell, whose first game as a boys coach was an 86-22 win over South Stanly. Diaper Dandy Award: As good as the seniors are, the freshmen are pretty tough, too, none better than Salisbury’s Brielle Blaire, the MVP of the Hornets’ state title win over East Bladen. Most Inspirational Win: Hours after visiting Mallory Drew, who broke her leg in a car accident, East Rowan’s girls upset West 60-58. Ugliest Win: South’s girls made 34 turnovers, missed 27 of 42 free throws and still beat Central Cabarrus 49-45. Mr. Clutch Award: South Rowan’s Qua Neal hit a corner 3 in the final seconds to beat Cox Mill 56-55. • Carson’s Nick Houston drilled a 3 to force a second overtime and then hit two free throws with four seconds left to beat South 68-66. • After South Davidson took a 61-60 lead, North’s Starks took the ball the length of the court for a three-point play and the win. Most Photogenic: Rankin had his photo in the paper 25 times, edging out South’s Johnathan Gaddy (24) and West’s Keshun Sherrill (23). The top girl was Salisbury’s Ayanna Holmes with 21. North’s boys coach Mitchell was the most photographed leader on the bench with 15. Best Fans: A late-season surge gave this award to North Rowan. Best Student Section: Carson will

They went 4-0. “We’re tired, man,” said Hargrave. The Windex Award: For cleaning the glass, Carson’s Rik Heggins, who said after one game, “Whenever I see a ball come off the rim, I automatically know it’s mine.” Most Talented Manager: East Rowan’s Hank Delaney, who scored against South. And finally ... Pep Talk of the Year: To South boys coach John Davis, who reminded his 5-12 Raiders beforehand that it didn’t matter what Carson’s record was (it was 8-12) when the rivals met at South, which resulted in a Raider win: “I don’t have to motivate you for anything. You know what’s at risk. You know who’s here. You’ve got a gym full of people in there. There’s going to be a lot of screaming and hollering on both sides. Let’s go out there, play some basketball and have some fun.” Man, I’ve got cold chills — from Davis’ pep talk and thinking about the best senior class of athletes I’ve ever seen.

He was always unselfish.”

remained balanced throughout the season. Holmes looked forward to distributing the ball to sister Ayanna, Olivia Rankin, Jessica Heilig and Blaire most games, the combination of which overwhelmed the Central Carolina Conference. Salisbury didn't come remotely close to losing a game in conference play. Holmes, a Radford signee, now keeps going forward, putting away the Hornet memories for now and looking ahead to college. Radford coaches came to the state championship game, where Holmes scored 10 points, grabbed 10 rebounds and seven steals in 29 minutes. She was the championship game's MVP as well as the regional tournament MVP. “We've accomplished something else in our careers and it's nice to have it,” Holmes Jon Lakey/SALISBURY POST said. “But now it's time to move Ashia Holmes, left, stands with two other former Southeast Middle School stars in Allison on.” Blackwell (center) and Ashia’s twin, Ayanna.

Irving returns as Duke rolls Associated Press

CHARLOTTE — Kyrie Irving stole Duke 87 the inbound Hampton 45 pass and sped downcourt toward the helpless Hampton defender under the basket. He leaped for a layup with his right hand, then switched to his left in mid-air. Duke’s electrifying point guard sure didn’t look like he hadn’t played since December. And if he keeps producing highlights like this, his Hall of Fame coach will take care of two milestones in a matter of days. Irving scored 14 points in his first game in three months, and top-seeded Duke routed 16th-seeded Hampton 87-45 on Friday in the second round of the West Regional for coach Mike Krzyzewski’s 899th career victory. “I haven’t played in three months, so this game was really nerve-racking,” Irving said. “But once I got the butterflies out, I started to play really well.” Andre Dawkins added 13 points, Mason Plumlee had 12, Kyle Singler finished with 11 and Miles Plumlee had 13 rebounds for the Blue Devils (31-4), who never trailed and shot 53 percent. They dominated from the start, winning their fourth straight and advancing to a third-round matchup with No. 8 seed Michigan (21-13) on Sunday. Most of the attention surrounding this one centered around Irving, whose return adds another elite player to a

duke forward ryan Kelly and Hampton guard Mike tuitt battle for position. Blue Devils roster already full of them. After Irving injured the big toe on his right foot on Dec. 4, the Blue Devils prepared for life without him for the rest of the season. He worked out in public last week before an ACC tournament game, fueling speculation that he might return. Initially, Krzyzewski downplayed the possibility before acknowledging it earlier this week and then pronouncing him ready to play limited minutes. “A guy with his talent, him at 70 percent is better than a lot of guys at 100 percent,” Dawkins said.

Irving checked in with 15:19 left in the first half to a standing ovation from the Duke fans. Perhaps trying to do too much too soon, he was whistled for charging on his second trip downcourt, and his first shot — a wild up-andunder layup — wasn’t close. “I was pressing a little bit instead of letting the game come to me,” Irving said. On his next shift, he showed he’s just as quick as before. Irving burst down the left side of the lane, drew a slap on the arm from Kwame Morgan and tumbled to the court — only to pop right up, unaffected, and knock down two free throws.

Heels top Long Island Associated Press

CHARLOTTE — Tyler Zeller and UNC 102 John HenLong Island 87 son scored almost at will inside against an overmatched opponent. Harrison Barnes wasn’t too bad, either. Still, amid the career highs and gaudy numbers, there was just enough sloppiness, turnovers and bad 3-point shooting for North Carolina coach Roy Williams to have concerns in the school’s return to the NCAA tournament. Zeller scored 32 points, Henson added 28 points and six blocks, Barnes had 24 points and 16 rebounds and North Carolina used its hulking size to mask other problems in a 102-87 victory over scrappy Long Island University on Friday night in the East Regional. “Am I pleased about the win? You’re darn right,” Williams said. “Am I pleased about some of the turnovers? Not at all. Am I pleased about going 3-for-17 from the 3-point line? Not at all. But we have to build on this to be ready to play better in the next game.” And Williams was quick to point out it was good to be back on this stage. After winning the 2009 NCAA title, North Carolina was relegated to the NIT a year ago in a season that ended with 17 losses. It wasn’t as easy as expected by many, but the second-seeded Tar Heels (27-7) eventually wore down the 15th-seeded Blackbirds (27-6) thanks to their big men. The 7-footer Zeller and 610 Henson kept catching high passes for easy layups over smaller LIU to each record career highs in points. They combined to hit 22 of 29 free throws. Henson, who was hitting 47 percent of his foul shots, went 8-for-10. “We had mismatches inside so we just kept throwing it inside and I got lucky and made some shots,” Zeller said. Julian Boyd had 18 points and 12 rebounds, C.J. Garner added 16 points and Jamal Olasewere scored 15 for LIU, which faded after rallying to tie with under 5 minutes left

UNc coach roy Williams reacts to the action in the Heels’ win against Long island. in the first half as its nationbest 13-game winning streak was snapped. “We don’t see size like that. I don’t think there are many teams in the country that are that long,” LIU coach Jim Ferry said. “We’re a team that goes inside a lot and gets fouled, but they had 10 blocked shots. We’re just not used to that.” Still, North Carolina was far from sharp despite playing a virtual home game 21/2 hours from campus. There was a meltdown in the first half and another hiccup midway through the second when the Tar Heels’ 21point lead was sliced to 10. “I think it’s one of those things that nobody has played significant minutes in the (NCAA) tournament,” said Zeller, one of only two players left from the 2009 team. “It’s one of those things that when you get up by 10 or 15 in a regular-season game they might just go away, but it’s their last game and they’re going to keep coming back.” LIU, which came in as the nation’s fourth-highest scoring team at 82.6 points a game, didn’t shy away from running with the equally fast-paced Tar Heels. But North Carolina’s overwhelming talent was the difference in its 24th consecutive NCAA tournament win in its home state.

The Tar Heels, who overcame 18 turnovers with 51 percent shooting from the field, will play the Washington-Georgia winner Sunday. The Blackbirds, the Northeast Conference champions making their first NCAA appearance since 1997, fell to 04 in the tournament despite a decent showing in a difficult environment. “I hope we did prove something,” Olasewere said. “We went out there and played as hard as we could, and we gave North Carolina a fight with them being an ACC team and a No. 2 seed. I think we proved a lot even though we lost.” And LIU’s 3-minute stretch of flawless basketball in the first half briefly had their small, but loud, fan contingent dreaming. After falling behind 12-2 and 31-19, the Blackbirds suddenly got their high-scoring offense going. As North Carolina went on a turnover spree, Olasewere was scoring off the dribble, Boyd knocked down a 3-pointer and Ferry was doing a triple-fist pump in a 12-0 run to tie it. But the Blackbirds, who entered with a nation-best 13 road victories, had no answer for North Carolina’s big men. Henson surpassed his career high by halftime with 20 points, and Barnes’ late scoring spurt put the Tar Heels up 53-42 at the break even as Williams fumed, punching a chair after North Carolina’s 11th turnover of the half. The Tar Heels’ 7-0 run to start the second half put it out of reach. Henson, whose previous career high was 19 points, later scored six straight points to make it 6645 with 16:47 left. Zeller had his way inside in the second half against an LIU team whose tallest starter was 6-7, scoring 25 points. Kendall Marshall added 10 assists in North Carolina’s 15th win in 17 games. The Tar Heels know, however, that things will get tougher. “We made some crucial mistakes,” Zeller said. “Those are mistakes we can’t make in the further rounds.”

And once he found his rhythm from the field, he was nearly impossible for Hampton to stop, scoring on a pair of authoritative drives to the rim before hitting 3-pointers on consecutive trips downcourt in the final 2 minutes. “The thing I was worried about was just staying out there and keeping up with everybody,” Irving said. Turns out, down the stretch, the Pirates were the ones who had trouble keeping up with him. “He’s a lottery pick,” Hampton coach Edward Joyner Jr. said. Perhaps overlooked in the obsession with Irving’s toe was the latest career accomplishment for their Hall of Fame coach. Coach K moved one win from joining Bob Knight as the only Division I men’s coaches with 900 career victories. He can tie his mentor and former coach at 902 wins if the Blue Devils win the West Regional final and clinch their 12th Final Four berth under him. A victory in Houston would not only put Duke back in the national championship game, it would leave Krzyzewski alone atop the wins list. Krzyzewski’s 100th NCAA tournament game at Duke ended like so many of the ones before it — in lopsided fashion. Duke was up by double figures before Hampton managed its first rebound, opened the game on a 16-4 run and never let up while essential-

The Blue Devils bridged the halves by reeling off 14 straight points, then made it a 30-point game on Nolan Smith’s dunk with just under 16 minutes to play. By then, they were well on their way to their 15th straight NCAA tournament win in the state of North Carolina. Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference champion Hampton (24-9) had its five-game win-

ning streak snapped. Its top three scorers — Darrion Pellum, Morgan and Charles Funches — were a combined 9 for 29. “Sometimes the awe of the moment gets to you,” Joyner said. “We missed defensive assignments. We threw the ball away. We missed a bunch of layups. They (Duke) don’t do that.” Pellum finished with nine points, roughly half his average, for Hampton.

Facebook and the Good Book

Churches discover the power of social networking By TERRY MATTINGLY Scripps Howard News Service

A mere three years ago, Diana Davis published a hands-on book for church leaders titled “Fresh Ideas For Women's Ministry.” When flipping through its pages, she said, one of the first things she notices is a missing word — Facebook. She needs to rewrite the whole book to cover this reality gap. “That obvious, isn’t it? It’s so obvious that we ought to be using Facebook to tell more women about our Bible studies and prayer groups and retreats and things like that,” said Davis, who has been married to a Southern Baptist pastor and administrator for nearly four decades, working in Texas and Indiana. This connection is certainly obvious in America's megachurch subculture and the digital-media pros and market-research consultants who serve it. Davis, however, has focused most of her attention as a speaker and writer on churches that occupy corners in ordinary neighborhoods, not the giant sanctuaries that resemble shopping malls. Lots of churches, she noted, don’t even have solid websites. Facebook? Isn't it that computer thing all the teens use to waste time? “Many small churches, or even our medium-sized churches, have nothing — nothing,” she said. “There are people who still do not

‘Living Vessels’ History of the Lutherans’ Home Mission Foundation published BY DONNA PRUNKL For The Salisbury Post

In 1921, a bishop of the Lutheran church in N.C. initiated a much-needed fund to help mission congregations construct their first buildings. Soon the Brotherhood of North Carolina Lutheran Men assumed its management. The Loan and Gift fund was like Elijah’s vessel of biblical fame — what was poured out to fund ministries of the Lutheran church was continually renewed. In 1953 the Home Mission Foundation (HMF) was founded and became the custodian of the fund. To date it has dispersed over $7 million in loans. These contributions have largely gone unrecognized, so HMF commissioned a book to preserve and share its remarkable history. “LIVING VESSELS: A History of the Home Mission Foundation” records the ministry and stewardship of the

Foundation. “Donations large and small flow through the foundation to provide loans to congregations, grants to educate pastors, and funds to various agencies of the Lutheran church,” said David Carlyle Beam of Cherryville, president of the HMF. “These donations are invested and continue to grow and produce fruit.” In the recently released book, the history is told through four symbolic vessels. The first, the Loan and Gift Fund, was created to hold money that would build churches. By 1920, only 25 of the state's 100 counties had Lutheran churches. Through the fund, mission congregations received no or low interest loans to build, and as they repaid the loans, the vessel refilled. Results followed. In 1921

t’s hard for me to imagine what the Japanese people are going through right now. First, they had a powerful earthquake. While there has been some coverage of the earthquake the second two disasters are stealing DOUG the headlines. CREAMER The earthquake triggered a powerful tsunami. The video I have watched of this is unbelievable. I saw a huge farm and a small town washed away in a matter of a few seconds. Nothing seemed to stop the wall of water as it pushed ashore. The images and stories of survival are horrific and unbelievable. If all that is not bad enough, the country is also facing a nuclear disaster if they can’t find a way to shut down or at least cool down the nuclear reactors in the northern part of the country. If they lose control of these reactors the ensuing disaster might eclipse the earthquake and tsunami. The Japanese people are struggling to recover from a disaster of a magnitude that we would have a hard time imagining. They are also having a difficult time with their economy just as we are. We aren’t immune to natural disasters in the United States. California has had earthquakes. The East and Gulf coasts have been struck by hurricanes like Hugo and Katrina. We have also experienced a nuclear plant problem at Three Mile Island. These disasters were horrific for our country and especially for those who lived through them. There are many old stories of disasters in our country where people have lost property and their lives. These huge natural disasters should serve to remind us that we need to get our lives right with God. No one knows the day or the hour of their departure from this life. So we need to get to know our maker in this life so He will welcome us into an eternity that we can hope for while we are alive. If we don’t get to know God now and commit our lives into His hands, then we won’t get the privilege of spending eternity with Him in heaven. The door is open and God is waiting for each one of us. Some may wonder if God sent this great disaster on Japan. Those are people who do not know God or his great love for mankind. I believe that God wept for the Japanese people on Friday. He takes no pleasure in watching people suffer. His heart reaches out to the Japanese people, wanting to draw them close and comfort them. If your heart has been touched by this great disaster, there are so many ways you can help. First, I would caution you to be careful where you put your money or resources. There are plenty of people who will try to scam you out of your hard earned money. Check out any organization before you donate money so you can be sure that your money actually gets to the people in need. Two great organizations that do wonderful work in disasters are the American Red Cross and Samaritan’s Purse. One thing we can all do right now is lift the Japanese people up in prayer. Our prayers, both individual and

After proclaiming the Message in Derbe and establishing a strong core of disciples, they retraced their steps to Lystra, then Iconium, and then Antioch, putting muscle and sinew in the lives of the disciples, urging them to stick with what they had begun to believe and not quit, making it clear to them that it wouldn’t be easy: “Anyone signing up for the kingdom of God has to go through plenty of hard times.” Paul and Barnabas handpicked leaders in each church.

I believe that because of the prayers of people like you and me, God can release hope to the Japanese people. If there can be a release of hope to people who have suffered such a profound disaster, they can find the strength to carry on. God’s hope does not disappoint. I want to encourage you to pray that God will move on the hearts of the Japanese people and release faith and hope. Pray that his love will wash over them much like the tsunami did and bring hope and healing to a grief-stricken people. God loves them just as he loves us. We need to ask God to bless and comfort them and to help them find a way to move forward. May God have mercy on Japan and may his love, peace, and mercy fill their hearts.

FroM 1c the synod had nine mission points. Two years later it reported 27, a 300 percent increase. Today, 57 counties have Lutheran congregations and some 103 N.C. Lutheran congregations have received HMF loans. The success of this building vessel led to the development of three others. One funded a seminary professorship; others provide seminary scholarships and benefit mission development. Lutheran Brotherhood, later renamed the North Carolina Lutheran Men in Mission (NCLMM), managed the fund until 1953 and remains its strongest supporter. “We hope that the publication of this book will allow the light of its ministries to shine forth,” said Harold W. Yost Sr. of Concord, executive director of NCLMM. “This book identifies HMF as an important partner in Lutheran ministry. The foundation continues its history of judicious gift management and hopes, through this book, to increase its ability to make a difference. “This history is living,’ said HMF President Emeritus Joe Ridenhour, the only surviving founder. “In the next 50 years we expect to see the creation of additional vessels, new opportunities to serve.” “The Home Mission Foundation is ready to creatively meet the contemporary needs of the Church,” said President Beam. The HMF history was written by the Rev. Dr. H. George Anderson, a former presiding bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. A graduate of Yale and Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary in Columbia, S.C., he later served as president of the seminary. “Writing the history of the Home Mission Foundation has opened my eyes to how Lutheran laymen can do great things when they see a real need,” wrote Anderson. The book’s appendices includes numerous listings of founders, contributors, scholarship recipients and financial information compiled by task force members: David Beam , Harold Yost, Joe Ridenhour of Boone, and Clarence Pugh of Hickory. The book was edited and designed by Donna Prunkl and printed by Diversified Graphics, Inc., both of Salisbury. Cheryl Goins of Pottery 101 in Salisbury crafted the pottery vessels used in the illustrations. North Carolina Lutheran congregations and clergy, seminary scholarship recipients, and Lutheran colleges and seminaries will receive complimentary copies, many during the N.C. Synod Assembly in June.

New Bible draws criticism of gender-neutral language

Are you a foodie? Do you love to cook and try new recipes?

Here’s your chance to shine!

A new gender-neutral Bible has both supporters and detractors. its goal is “to articulate God’s unchanging Word in the way the original authors might have said it if they had been speaking in English to the global Englishspeaking audience today." While the change to the generic “man” in verses like Matthew 4:4 is applauded by the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood, linguist Joel M. Hoffman, author of “And God Said — How Translations Conceal the Bible's Original Meaning,” said it is simply incorrect. “‘Anthropos'’ (the Greek word in the original text) means ‘person,’ plain and simple,” he said. “It’s as much a mistake as translating ‘parent’ as ‘father.’” He doesn’t buy the argument that “man” is understood in English to refer to men and women. “If you walk into a church on Sunday morning and say, ‘Will every man stand up?’ I would be shocked if the women stood up, too.”

tion for their choice of “they” (instead of the clunky “he” or “she”) and “them” (instead of “him or her”) to refer back to the singular “whoever.” They commissioned an extensive study of the way modern English writers and speakers convey gender inclusiveness. According to the translators’ notes on the Committee on Bible Translation’s website, “The gender-neutral pronoun ‘they’ (‘them’/’their’) is by far the most common way that English-language speakers and writers today refer back to singular antecedents such as ‘whoever,’ ‘anyone,’ ‘somebody,’ ‘a pe’son,’ “no one,' and the like.” Randy Stinson, president of the CBMW and dean of the School of Church Ministries at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, said the changes are especially important to evangelicals. “Evangelicals believe in the verbal plenary inspiration of scripture. We believe every word is inspired by God, not just the broad thought,” he said. So if the original text reads “brothers”— even if that word in the original language is known to mean “brothers and sisters” (such as the Hebrew “achim” or Spanish word “hermanos”) — many evangelicals believe the English translation should read “brothers.” Stinson said a notes section would be the best place to point out that the original word could be read to include men and women. It's not yet known if the Southern Baptist Convention will reject the new translation the way it did the 2005 version. The nation's largest Protestant denomination still sells the 1984 translation in its stores. If it chooses to condemn the new version, that would happen at its national convention in June. The publisher says the NIV 2011 will replace both the 1984 and 2005 versions. Even while panning the new translation, the CBMW thanked the Committee on Bible Translation for being open about the process they used to develop it. That included taking comments from all sides of the gender debate. And the new version doesn’t always use gender neutral language. It takes reader sensibility into account by not using inclusive terms for some of the most familiar verses where that might sound jarring. For instance, Matthew 4:4 is rendered, “Man shall not live on bread alone.” That's a change from the TNIV, where the same phase read, “People do not live on bread alone.” “I think that clause has entered into standard English,” translator Douglas Moo explained of the move back to the more traditional “man.” “People know it who don’t know the Bible.” Moo said the translators hope that the phrasing of the new NIV is so natural that the average reader won't be aware of any of the gender language concerns that are debated by biblical scholars and linguists. The group’s website says

S50353

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — In the old translation of the world's most popular Bible, John the Evangelist declares: “If anyone says, ‘I love God,’ yet hates his brother, he is a liar.” Make that “brother or sister” in a new translation that includes more gender-neutral language and is drawing criticism from some conservatives who argue the changes can alter the theological message. The 2011 translation of the New International Version Bible, or NIV, does not change pronouns referring to God, who remains “He” and “the Father.” But it does aim to avoid using “he” or “him” as the default reference to an unspecified person. The NIV Bible is used by many of the largest Protestant faiths. The translation comes from an independent group of biblical scholars that has been meeting yearly since 1965 to discuss advances in biblical scholarship and changes in English usage. Before the new translation even hit stores, it drew opposition from the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood, an organization that believes women should submit to their husbands in the home and only men can hold some leadership roles in the church. The council decided it would not endorse the new version because the changes alter “the theological direction and meaning of the text,” according to a statement. Similar concerns led the Southern Baptist Convention to reject the NIV’s previous translation in 2005. At issue is how to translate pronouns that apply to both genders in the ancient Greek and Hebrew texts but have traditionally been translated using masculine forms in English. An example from the translator's notes for Mark 4:25 to show how the NIV’s translation of these words has evolved over the past quarter-century. The widely distributed 1984 version of the NIV quotes Jesus: “Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.” The more recent incarnation of the NIV from 2005, called Today’s New International Version, changed that to: “Those who have will be given more; as for those who do not have, even what they have will be taken from them.” The CBMW had complained in 2005 that making the subject of a verse plural to convey that it could refer equally to a man or a woman “potentially obscured an important aspect of biblical thought — that of the personal relationship between an individual and God.” The NIV 2011 seems to have taken that criticism into account and come up with a compromise: “Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. While the translators’ former grammar teachers may not like it, the translators offer a strong justifica-

Review of vitamins D and E Dear Dr. Gott: I’ve heard a lot of mixed things about vitamins D and E. Can you tell me the good and the bad about them? Thank you. Dear Reader: Vitamin D is fat-soluble, meaning that it is stored by the body for future use. It can be produced within the body during exposure to sunlight and is also available in some foods and through supDR. PETER plements. Before the body GOTT can use it, however, it must undergo two changes. The first occurs in the liver, the second in the kidneys. At this point, it is now active and ready for use in the body. Vitamin D is widely known to aid calcium absorption. It also maintains appropriate blood-calcium and phosphate levels, which are necessary for normal bone mineralization. It is necessary for bone growth and remodeling (repair). The body also uses Vitamin D for reducing inflammation, modulation of cell growth and normal functioning of the immune and neuromuscular systems. Because Vitamin D is not naturally found in many foods, it is commonly added to cereals, milk and other dairy products. Some foods that naturally contain D include cod-liver oil, salmon, tuna, mackerel, sardines, liver and eggs. The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) varies with

age. Infants from birth to 12 months should receive 400 IU daily. Children and adults from 1 to 70 years of age should obtain 600 IU daily. For those over 70, the RDA is 800 IU daily. Deficiency can cause rickets and osteomalacia. Rickets is the softening and weakening of bones in children. It may also cause bone deformities. Osteomalacia is the softening of the bones in adults. It is not the same as osteoporosis. Osteomalacia is the result of an abnormality during the making of bone, whereas osteoporosis occurs in otherwise healthy, normal bone. Excessive intake (toxicity) can result in loss of appetite, weight loss, heart-rhythm abnormalities and elevated blood-calcium levels with subsequence heart, kidney and blood-vessel damage. Toxicity does not occur from excessive sun exposure. High intake of enriched vitamin D foods is also unlikely to cause toxicity so the problem lies in the overconsumption of supplements. Vitamin E is the name given to a group of fat-soluble compounds with distinctive antioxidant activities. There are eight chemical forms but only one (alpha-tocopherol) is recognized to meet human requirements. It is responsible for protecting cells from free-radical damage and is involved in immune function, cell signaling, regulation of gene expression and various other metabolic processes. It also inhibits protein kinase C activity (an enzyme) and indirectly dilates blood vessels

and inhibits platelet aggregation (clumping). Most dietary sources of vitamin E come from nuts and oils. These include wheatgerm oil; almonds and hazelnuts; soybean oil; sunflower seeds and sunflower oil; peanuts, peanut butter and peanut oil; safflower oil; and corn oil. It can also be found in spinach, broccoli, kiwis, tomatoes and mangoes. The RDA is 6 IU (4 milligrams) for those up to age 6 months, 7.5 IU (5 milligrams) for those from 6 to 12 months, 9 IU (6 milligrams) for ages 1 to 3, 10.4 IU (7 milligrams) for ages 4 to 8, 16.4 IU (11 milligrams) for those 9 to 13, and 22.4 (15 milligrams) for those over age 14. Lactating women should consume 28.4 IU (19 milligrams) daily. Deficiency is rare, and symptoms have not been found in otherwise healthy people who fail to get adequate amounts from their diets. Deficiency is most common in individuals with an underlying condition that causes fat malabsorption. Symptoms include peripheral neuropathy, immune impairment, retinopathy and more. Research has not shown that vitamin E obtained from a healthful diet can cause toxicity; however, supplements can cause problems to include poor clotting and hemorrhage. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books. His website is www.AskDrGottMD.com. United FeatUre Syndicate

Saturday, March 19 Operating independently of others in the near future could be an extremely important skill to learn. However, if you find this to be a necessity, handle it very tactfully so that you don’t alienate any of your alliances. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Respectfully listen to the suggestions of those who think they know better, just in case they do, but don’t abdicate your own sound judgment. Follow whatever idea you think is best. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Instead of waiting for an inept assistant to help, you’d be better off in the long run doing things for yourself. Their free labor could end up being very costly. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Be careful about taking a chance on something that requires a lot of guesswork, especially if it is costly, because chances are it is designed to fail. All you will gain is an empty wallet. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Do not make a big decision without consulting with the entire family, if it is something that would affect them as well. One among them might come up with a better solution. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Don’t comment on anything that could be a sensitive matter to someone else, and especially don’t offer any advice concerning the matter. Let everybody have a say first. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — You know better than most not to base expenditures on funds you are hoping to receive. If you continue to practice prudence and practicality with your finances, you’ll do just ducky. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Waiting until everybody else has made their plans before making yours will not gain you any kind of advantage. Form a blueprint and then stick by it. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Keep pace with your productive planning, especially if your workload is heavier than usual. If you take a minute to do something else and fall behind, you might never catch up in a timely fashion. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — It might feel good to buck the will of the majority, but chances are it will also cause dissension within your circle. Brush off your ego and join the rest of the world. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — When it comes to competitive involvements, take care that you’re not tripped up by your own carelessness rather than by the opposition. Close your mouth and tie your shoes. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — If you’re smart you’ll keep your hopes for the day to yourself, just in case you won’t be able to pull things off. If this doesn’t work out, you won’t be embarrassed. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Check your billfold to see if it would support taking on an additional expenditures before making any plans. Be prepared to slam the brakes on your spending if you think a crash would be imminent. Trying to patch up a broken romance?

The rarest of all finesses BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate

This week, we have been looking at finesses. Today’s deal features the rarest of them all, the intrafinesse, which was first highlighted by Brazilian superstar Gabriel Chagas. How should South have played to make four spades? West leads the diamond jack. East takes two tricks in the suit, then shifts to a heart. In the auction, South’s redouble showed 10-plus highcard points. When West advanced with one diamond, he said that he had a definite preference for diamonds over hearts and spades. And since he was marked with a weak hand, his bid promised no points. South’s two-spade rebid guaranteed at least a five-card suit and was forcing. Declarer could afford only

Sheen adds 12 more dates to his live tour LOS ANGELES (AP) — Charlie Sheen’s “Violent Torpedo of Truth” is growing. Sheen is adding a dozen more dates to his live show, which is now set to stretch into Canada and continue through May 3. Earlier this week, Sheen added an additional five dates. He tacked on a dozen more late Thursday, including stops in Toronto, Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, Denver, San Francisco, Seattle and Vancouver, British Columbia.

one trump loser. But East’s takeout double said that he had at least three cards in each of the three unbid suits, spades, hearts and diamonds. And since only 14 points were missing, South felt sure that East had the spade king. So, declarer won the heart return with his king and led a low spade to dummy’s nine: an intrafinesse. East won with the jack and played another heart. South won with dummy’s ace and called for the spade queen. This scooped up East’s king and West’s 10. Beautiful! Phillip Alder is teaching during the American Contract Bridge League’s Sectional at Sea from July 19 to 26 aboard Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth. The cruise starts and ends in Southampton, England, and goes to the Norwegian fjords and the North Cape. Details are at www.phillipalderbridge.com.

WEATHER UNDERGROUND’S NATIONAL WEATHER Expect more rain and snow across the West Coast on Saturday, due to a slow moving low pressure system in the Pacific Ocean. The system will slowly move onshore and continue pushing a cold front southeastward through California. By evening, the system will stretch from the Northern Rockies, over the Intermountain West, and into southern California. Along the front, expect periods of heavy snow showers, with rain and low levels, in addition to strong winds. Maximum wind gusts will range from 30 to 40 mph, up to 50 and 60 mph at high mountain passes. Please take caution on roads and only travel if necessary. Snowfall accumulation will range from 4 to 6 inches across the Sierras and the Northern Rockies. Rainfall totals at lower levels will range from a half of an inch to an inch across the West Coast. Elsewhere across the nation, a ridge of high pressure dominates the East Coast. This allows for mostly sunny, dry, and warm conditions from the Southeast to the Northeast. In the Central US, a cold front stalls over the Central Plains. Meanwhile, a trough moves off the Rockies and joins the frontal boundary, changing it into a warm front and slowly pushes it northeastward. This will kick up widespread scattered rain showers from Oklahoma to Iowa, reaching into the Upper Midwest in the evening hours.

For flat screens and wall mounts, there’s no such thing as too slim (ARA) - Slim is “in” ... and not just for people watching their weight. Flat screen TVs and the wall mounts that turn the TVs into decorator showpieces seem to grow sleeker and slimmer every year. And when it comes to viewing technology, thinner not only looks better, it has practical advantages, too. Yes, ultra-slim flat screens may cost you a few more dollars initially, but in the long run will probably provide you with enough user satisfaction to justify the extra expense. And don’t forget that prices for standard flat screens dropped precipitously in just a few years after the products entered the marketplace, so it’s likely prices for slim models will follow suit. Here are a few reasons why you should go trim and slim when buying a flat screen and wall mount:

Aesthetic appeal If you bought a flat screen TV in 2006, it may still work well but it probably takes up quite a bit of space on your TV stand or - if you wall-mounted it - sticks out into the room considerably. Older flat screens tended to be several inches thick and could appear bulky, even when mounted high on the wall. Today’s slimmer styles may be just an inch or two think, and ultra-slim models can be less than an inch thick. Less bulk means the TV looks better, whether it’s stand- or wall-mounted. And new superslim full-motion wall mounts like Sanus’ VisionMount VLF311 Super Slim, provide all the advantages and conveniences of wall-mounting a flat screen, but without adding a lot of bulk to the TV’s profile. The mounts offer a full range of motion

courtesy of fingertip-tilt technology, but place flat screens 36 to 65 inches in size just 1.25 inches from the wall.

Safety factor The weight of flat screens can be deceptive. Even older models look so sleek that it’s easy to underestimate their weight. But all TVs tend to be heavy, and, if not properly secured to the wall or a TV stand, can tip over, posing an injury risk to people and pets in the household. Less bulk means slim flat screens are a bit lighter than their thicker counterparts. Remember, however, that it’s imperative to properly secure all TVs, including slim flat screens, in order to ensure they’re safe - and enjoyable - for everyone in the home.

Efficiency Manufacturers have been improving the efficiency of flat screens since the TVs

emerged on the home market. Virtually any flat screen - whether plasma or LCD that you purchase in 2011 is sure to be more energy-efficient and produce a better picture quality than an older version. Some of the ultra-thin models boast super efficiency, requiring no more electricity to operate than a light bulb. Motorized TV wall mounts also offer energy efficiency and quiet operation.

logical showpiece of your home decor can still maintain a low profile when it comes to how much space it takes up in your living room.

As flat screen technology continues to advance, it’s certain that TVs will become even slimmer and more energy efficient. And with superslim wall mounts available, that techno-

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS Bank shareholders got a longawaited gift from the U.S. Federal Reserve on Friday when the central bank cleared the way for major lenders to increase their dividends. It was the last hurdle left on the path to recovery for banks and signified a return to health for the industry. Banks were forced to cut their dividends to preserve cash after the financial crisis that peaked in September 2008, when the industry was propped up by a $700 billion U.S. government bailout package. The yen backed away from historic highs and Japanese shares rose after the Group of Seven major industrialized nations promised coordinated intervention in currency markets to support Japan’s recovery from a catastrophic earthquake and tsunami. The G-7 pledge came a day after the yen soared to an all-time high against the dollar, possibly threatening Japan’s exports and hampering its economic recovery from the March 11 quake. Cisco Systems Inc., the world’s largest maker of computer networking gear, said its first cash dividend will amount to 6 cents per share and will be paid

on April 20. The company has said since last year that it would start paying a dividend equating to an annual yield of 1 percent to 2 percent, but had not specified the amount or precise timing. The Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said it has received regulators’ permission to spend $5.65 billion to repurchase Berkshire Hathaway’s preferred shares in the banking giant. Goldman said the Federal Reserve has approved its plan to repay Warren Buffett’s company for the $5 billion investment it made at the height of the financial crisis in the fall of 2008. Goldman was eager to repay Berkshire because it had been paying 10 percent interest on the preferred shares, which translated into an annual expense of $500 million. General Mills Inc. has entered into exclusive negotiations to buy a majority stake in French yogurt company Yoplait, the company said. Yoplait is the world’s second-largest yogurt maker and is owned by a French investment firm and cooperative dairy group. The Wall Street Journal placed the value of the deal at $2.2 billion.
