Rescuers tried everything to save boy BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com

‘Boyden Bunch’ adds to Christmas Happiness

Three men restrained Erin Nicolas as she watched responders jump into the family’s pool to pull her 10-year-old son, Cooper, from the water. She tried to get away, screaming at them to let her go, but they held her tight. From her yard, she watched paramedics performed CPR on Cooper Wood beside the pool Tuesday evening. Paramedics worked on Cooper on the way to Rowan Regional Medical Center. “I was told they had four of their best paramedics working on him,” she said,

On the first Monday of every month, members of the “Boyden Bunch” sit down at DJ’s for their longstanding 1:15 p.m. lunch. It’s a 10-year tradition reaching its 11th year where the bunch, a group of women from Boyden High School class of 1955, chat about their lives. About four years ago, the women expressed interest in the Christmas Happiness Fund. “We would take up money in November and December and then turn it in. We have people who live out of town who send us their donations,” Mowery said. The women all contributed $240 to this year’s Christmas Happiness Fund. “We send out e-mail reminders about the lunch and in that we remind about the collection for Christmas Happiness,” she said. If someone in the bunch can’t make it they can send a check through the mail to include in the Boyden Bunch donation. The bunch started meeting after their 45th class reunion, Peggy Mowery said. “We heard about other classes doing this. We’ve learned about each other better. We’ve become a close-knit group,” Mowery said. The women meet at the same time and place so there’s no question and no need for reservations. “We enjoy it,” she said. The only exception is if the first Monday falls on a holiday, then the women meet the following Monday. The former students of the class of 1955 all remain connected, Mowery said. Contributions to the Christmas Happiness Fund may be brought to the Salisbury Post, 131 W. Innes St., between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. weekdays or mailed to The Salisbury Post Christmas Happiness Fund, P.O. Box 4639 Salisbury, NC 28144. Please make checks payable to the Christmas Happiness Fund and indicate how you want your donation listed.

“and was told since the water was so cold, he had a good chance of survival. But the water wasn’t cold enough.” Doctors and nurses worked relentlessly on Cooper, trying everything to save his life, Erin said, but he had begun hemorrhaging, and his internal organs had failed. “The doctor worked on him for 30 more minutes even though he knew it was a lost cause,” she said Wednesday. “Jason and I went outside, and the doctor came out and said he was sorry.” Erin said the three of them cried outside the hospital.

A Salisbury firefighter walks by the flipped Jeep as another fireman talks to the driver, left, Wednesday morning.

No one seriously hurt; wreck could have been worse A Jeep rolled over onto its top at the intersection of Mooresville and Lincolnton roads Wednesday morning after its driver tried to avoid what could have been a more serious collision. Billy Aldridge of China Grove said he was at the stop sign on Lincolnton Road before he crossed over Mooresville Road and hit the other car. He said he did not see the white Ford Taurus and said it came out of

nowhere. “I looked,” he said, “and the next thing I know, I rolled three times.” The driver of the Taurus, Arlene Bailey of Salisbury, was taken to Rowan Regional Medical Center by Rowan EMS, and was later released. Aldridge, who was upside-down in his Jeep, was able to crawl out with no injuries that he knows of. “I don’t remember none of it,” he said.

Salisbury Police Officer Ryan Carlton said Aldridge was cited with unsafe movement. Carlton said Aldridge saw Bailey’s car at the last minute and tried to swerve, causing his Jeep to roll over. The vehicles did collide, with the front of the Jeep hitting the driver’s side front tire of Bailey’s Taurus. Both drivers had insurance. The Salisbury Fire Department and Rowan EMS also responded.

PGT Industries will mothball, not sell, its Rowan County plant and could reopen it if the economy improves and housing construction picks up, the company’s president said Wednesday.

Rowan plans to use majority of $2 million in grants for technology BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com

Local school districts have submitted plans outlining a proposal for using their portion of federal Race to the Top reform grant money. Each school system was required to submit a strategy to the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction last month to be eligible for their share of the state’s $400 million. Each plan is crafted after the state’s Ready, Set, Go! initiative, encouraging educational innovation and reform The Rowan-Salisbury School System is set to receive nearly $2 million, which will be used primarily

for technology initiatives.

said. “We’re moving away from the concept of doing everything in a lab, so students can be more mobile.” Smith said it’s also important to update technology to be able to connect to the state’s new system for online testing and data warehousing. “If our students are going to be tested online, we have to make sure that we can be connected to the technology,” she said. Race to the Top won’t be enough to pay for every school to go wireless, so Phil Hardin, the district’s technology director, said officials had to prioritize. “We’re looking mainly at the schools that we’ve targeted already

Economic developers defended the county’s incentive policy Wednesday but said they are willing to tweak it at the request of the Rowan County Board of Commissioners. The request comes after PGT announced it will lay off nearly 500 people and leave Rowan County three years into a five-year incentive agreement.

Man with Rowan ties charged with Cheney of bribery in Nigeria Staff and wire reports

LAGOS, Nigeria — Nigeria’s anti-corruption agency on Tuesday charged former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney and a Rowan County resident over a bribery scheme involving oil services firm Halliburton Co. during the time Cheney served Today’s forecast 43º/20º Sunny, cold Weather 8C

PGT FROM 1a ant windows and doors. Hershberger said the decision to close the Rowan County plant was “gutwrenching.” He made the announcement himself. A co-founder of the 30year-old Florida company, Hershberger said he’s spoken to PGT employees hundreds of times over the years. “This was the first time that I had to read it,” he said. “I couldn’t just say it.” Hershberger said he regrets that Christmas music was inadvertently played before he addressed employees. “That was terribly unfortunate,” he said. “I would do anything in the world to go back and do that differently.” A DJ hired to provide a sound system for the announcement played one or two Christmas songs during a sound check before company executives entered the plant and stopped him, Hershberger said. When he realized why executives had called the meeting, the DJ felt badly about playing the songs, he said. “It was not his fault at all,” Hershberger said. “We take the blame for that.” Despite the success of the Rowan County plant, where employees have been working overtime to keep up with orders, the company couldn’t justify keeping the facility open, Hershberger said. PGT’s sales have plummeted since arriving in Rowan County, a move that came just before the Great Recession. More than half of PGT workers in Florida have lost their jobs. In 2006, when PGT’s business was booming, the company left Davidson County and moved into the old Draftex building in Rowan County. When added to PGT’s facilities in Venice, Fla., the Heilig Road plant doubled the company’s manufacturing space. The company posted

sales of $372 million in 2006. Sales began to fall the next year and bottomed out at $166 million in 2009, Hershberger said. “We were doing half the volume out of twice the square footage, and it just didn’t make sense,” he said. Although the Rowan County facility was “doing great,” more than 50 percent of the product manufactured here was going back to Florida, Hershberger said. Company officials have discussed the plant closure for two years but waited to make a decision because the economy was still dropping, he said. Typically during a Vshaped downturn, the economy “drops fast and comes back fast,” he said. However, that has not been the case, he said. PGT announced the plant closure three weeks before Christmas. While the timing was unfortunate, Hershberger said he wanted to tell employees as soon as he knew for certain the plant would close. Employees also needed to know before they spent a lot of money on the holidays, he said. The company has had “pretty good interest” from local workers who want to transfer to the Florida plant, Hershberger said. The company will give severance pay to employees who stay and help those who transfer with moving expenses. PGT officials would like to host a job fair at the Heilig Road plant to help laid off employees find new jobs, Hershberger said. Area companies interested in participating should call PGT in Florida at 1-800-2826019 or Monte Burns, vice president for North Carolina operations, at 704-638-6000. PGT is in the third year of a five-year incentive agreement with Rowan County. So far, the county has paid the company $162,212 in exchange for capital improvements and new jobs. Hershberger was not aware that PGT has been receiving tax breaks from Rowan County. For three years, the company has earned a 75-percent property tax refund on new investment at the plant. “I’m not terribly familiar

with the agreement,” he said. After he reviewed the agreement Wednesday, Hershberger said it was fair. “I believe this contract was set correctly,” he said in an email. “Even with the huge downturn in the construction market and the disappointing results from our company, I believe we have invested in the community.” Local officials have expressed concern that PGT is leaving in the middle of the agreement, although the company will not receive another incentive payment. Rowan County Commissioner Jim Sides has called for PGT to pay back 50 percent of the incentives it has received. To qualify for the tax break, PGT had to create 300 new jobs. The company was required to spend $9 million on wages each year, and PGT actually exceeded that goal, Hershberger said. A large portion of that payroll went back to the local community, he said. “I think it is important for any incentive to have a reasonable expectation of payback,” Hershberger said. “Set up correctly, there should not be a need for a clawback.” A clawback clause requires companies to pay back incentives if they leave early. In the wake of PGT’s announced departure, county commissioners added a clawback Monday to the Tuscarora Yarn incentive agreement. According to the Sarasota Herald-Tribune, PGT will earn incentives that could top $1 million from Sarasota County in Florida. The company must create 400 jobs over

five years. Hershberger has called the incentives “critically important” but said Wednesday they weren’t the deciding factor in moving Rowan County operations to Florida. In 2006, Rowan County lured the company from Davidson County with cash grants and other incentives. Some have called PGT an “incentive shopper,” but Hershberger said he takes “great offense” at the name. PGT only moved outside of Venice, Fla., when it outgrew the facility there, he said. “The company has never shopped for incentives,” he said. Because the company will continue to pay local property taxes, Rowan County will see a net gain of about $588,000 from PGT over the five years of its defunct incentive agreement, said Robert Van Geons, executive director for RowanWorks Economic Development. Rowan County’s incentive agreement is performancebased and does not provide cash upfront, Van Geons said. Hershberger said he is a proponent of such agreements. “The county receives the benefit of jobs created and money spent in the local economy, which, when done correctly, outweigh the tax waiver,” he said. PGT will receive a $600,000 cash grant, as well as tax breaks, from Sarasota County in exchange for moving Rowan County operations there. Contact reporter Emily Ford at 704-797-4264.

Leaving before or soon after the completion of an incentive agreement doesn’t meet the spirit of the deal, said Robert Van Geons, executive director for RowanWorks Economic Development. “This is not what people expect from that type of public commitment,” he said. County commissioners want to consider provisions in the incentive agreement that would make it harder for companies to leave. Van Geons, who said he’s been taking condolence calls from his peers since PGT’s announcement, seemed to agree. “We are not looking to punish people or put companies at unusual risk, but we are looking for a long-term relationship with companies,” he said. “We want to help people get started, and we expect them to stay around a while.” While addendums to the policy could force companies to pay back incentives if they leave before a certain date, some members of the RowanWorks board expressed concern. “We’re better off them coming here for three years than not coming at all,” EDC board member Harold Earnhardt said. “If we add provisions, will that

year deals. The county has awarded incentives to 21 projects, which have generated $35.5 million in net revenue for Rowan since 2000, according to RowanWorks. “We’ve got a hell of batting average here,” EDC board member Randy Gettys said. “The county, from their point of view, they’re winners. Big winners.” County commissioners, other than Jim Sides, have not suggested abandoning the incentive program but updating it, Van Geons said. Improvements could include a lower investment threshold — the current minimum is $5 million — so existing small businesses could qualify. Incentives could mean more to smaller companies with a longstanding presence in Rowan County. For a company like PGT with a payroll of $15 million, “our incentive fund was a very small portion of their overall decision making,” Greene said. PGT President Rod Hershberger told the Post Wednesday he didn’t know PGT had an incentive agreement with Rowan County. The county can’t prevent a company as large as PGT from leaving, Greene said. “We can hold out carrots, but we can’t hold them in any fashion if they don’t want to,” he said. Most EDC board members said they were pleased county commissioners sought their input.

hurt recruiting?” Certain measures could scare away companies, Van Geons said, but officials found a compromise with Tuscarora Yarns, which agreed to repay all grants received in the past three years if it ceases operations or eliminates the majority of its workforce. “There should be some things we can come up with that give us additional recourse without making it so onerous that it puts us at a disadvantage to other communities,” Van Geons said. EDC board member Pete Teague said he doesn’t want the community, reeling from the loss of PGT, to overreact. “There are legitimate concerns that can be addressed, but we don’t want to do anything that will make the county less effective,” Teague said. The incentive formula is good, EDC board member Jim Greene said. Incentives are performance-based, meaning if the company doesn’t perform, it doesn’t get the incentive — typically a 75 percent tax refund on new investment for five years in exchange for jobs and capital improvements. “We don’t ever lose any money,” Greene said. “We can critique things, but I don’t think we need to go off halfcocked to change a good system.” Other than PGT, only Alcoa has left before completing its agreement. Several companies are in the middle of five-

uments filed in U.S. District Court’s Houston division. A judge ordered Stanley to pay restitution of $10.8 million and he faced up to seven years in prison, though he agreed to cooperate with federal authorities in exchange for his prison sentence possibly being reduced. Sentencing for Stanley has been rescheduled several times in U.S. District Court. It is now set for Jan. 19, 2011 Stanley, who graduated from East Rowan High School in 1960, lived in Houston during his time at KBR. According to Rowan County land records, Stanley and his wife Brenda own a house worth more than $1 million on Andover Court in the upscale Forest Glen subdivision off N.C. 150. The charges filed in Nigeria also stem from the case involving the $180 million allegedly paid in bribes to Nigerian officials, said Femi Babafemi, a spokesman for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. Terrence O’Donnell, a lawyer representing Cheney, denied the allegations. “The Department of Justice and the Securities and Ex-

change Commission investigated that joint venture extensively and found no suggestion of any impropriety by Dick Cheney in his role of CEO of Halliburton,” O’Donnell said in a statement sent to the Associated Press. “Any suggestion of misconduct on his part, made now, years later, is entirely baseless.” The Halliburton case involves former subsidiary KBR, a major engineering and construction services firm based in Houston. In February 2009, KBR Inc. pleaded guilty in U.S. federal court to authorizing and paying bribes from 1995 to 2004 for the plant contracts in Nigeria. KBR, which split from Halliburton in 2007, agreed to pay more than $400 million in fines in the plea deal. Halliburton spokeswoman Tara Mullee Agard said the company had not seen the new charges Tuesday, but insisted the company had nothing to do with the project. Babafemi said Halliburton, its Nigerian subsidiary, Halliburton CEO David J. Lesar, former KBR CEO Stanley and current KBR CEO William Utt all face similar charges in the case. Heather L. Browne, a KBR spokeswoman, said in a statement that Utt joined the firm in 2006, two years after prosecutors say the bribery case concluded.

On Wednesday, students and staff remembered him fondly, telling stories and making cards for his family. “(The students) grieved and we were able to move on and write to the family,” Alexandra Shadroui, Cooper’s fifth-grade Academically and Intellectually Gifted teacher, said. “The counselors suggested they reach out to the family so that they can focus on them instead of the accident itself.” Shadroui said her students were sad to say goodbye to a classmate, but didn’t let that dampen their memories of the 10-year-old. “They all seem to have hope this morning,” she said. “They’re upset about it, but realize he’s in a better place.” Cooper’s “giving heart” won’t soon be forgotten. During a lesson about Russian Christmas, Cooper did something that Shadroui said epitomized his character. “At the end of class I had one piece of Russian candy left and he came up and asked me if he could take that piece of candy to his mother,” she said. “I said ‘sure Cooper,’ and he said ‘I know she’s had candy from different places in the world, but I don’t think she’s ever had Russian candy.’ ” Thomas said he spread joy everywhere he went.

Erin said Cooper had several knots and scrapes on his head, and likely slipped on ice around the side of the pool and fell in. “He was possibly unconscious when he drowned, so he didn’t suffer,” she said.

Cooper Wood’s mother Erin Nicolas holds the stuffed shark her son slept with every night. She said she will keep it close to remind her of Cooper Wood, who drowned in a pool Tuesday.

RESCUERS “He said, ‘The reason I did it, every time I looked down at Cooper, I saw my 10-yearold son,’ ” she said. “He couldn’t stop. They actually had to make him stop.” ••• Cooper had just gotten home from school Tuesday afternoon and wanted to take the family’s dog, October, for a walk. Erin said her children always took October for walks, sometimes with her, sometimes by themselves. When she later walked to the backyard, she saw October but didn’t see her son. “I called his name several times but didn’t get an answer,” she said. So she got in her van and drove around the neighborhood, yelling his name. Erin’s daughter, Beta, 13, came home mid-panic. Erin said that after she searched a few places, such as a gully in the wooded area behind their home, she called 911. “They asked if I had looked in the pool,” she said, and she grabbed a PVC pipe and scraped the bottom of the pool the best she could. “There was no resistance. I didn’t hit anything. I did not feel anything.” She said she truly didn’t think he was in there, but checked, just to be sure. When firefighters from the Locke Fire Department arrived, she said, they began pumping water from the pool.

“He was one of those little boys who even though he’s in fifth grade still hugs adults,” she said. “He was still just a little boy.” Shadroui said Cooper was always motivated to learn more. “He constantly read books,” she said. “But he didn’t just read, he was like a sponge, anything that was new he wanted to learn.” Cooper had recently starting reading the Harry Potter series and couldn’t put it down. “That book was with him at lunch, when he first got here in the morning he read, he read on the bus,” Thomas said. “Anytime he had free time, he was reading.” Thomas said Cooper “excelled” in math and science. “He loved, loved science,” she said. “His mother shared with me last night that he wanted a chemistry set for Christmas so that he could do experiments.” Shadroui said she’s seen Cooper grow up in the last year. “His motivation has changed,” she said. “He’s really shown that desire to push himself.” Both Shadroui and Thomas said the thing they’ll remember most about Cooper is his bright smile. “In the morning, I have hall duty and when he got off the bus he was always smiling,” Shadroui said.

The school system plans to target North Rowan High, Carson High, North Rowan Middle, Knox Middle and Overton Elementary for wireless connectivity first. “Those schools already have a significant amount of equipment that can utilize that access.” Hardin said with handheld mobile technology like iPods, Ipads and Macbooks, students need a “robust wireless infrastructure.” “We already have a simple solution now,” he said. The school system also plans to spend more than $225,000 to fully implement the use of ClassScape, a benchmark assessment tool. “Right now, we use it twice a year as a benchmark for reading, math and science for third through eighth grade,” Smith said. “We also use it at the high school level for U.S. history, English I and algebra I.” Smith said the goal is to get every subject using it as a formative assessment tool. “The state is encouraging

us to use assessments more frequently and to use some type of online assessment,” she said. The district budgeted $300,000 to employ full time technology facilitators at Knox Middle and North Rowan High. “The idea is having somebody who is not split between multiple schools,” Smith said. “They would work with the teachers there, training them on how to integrate technology into the classroom and maintaining the technology in the building.” Smith said as schools gain additional resources, they will need someone to troubleshoot so technology is fully utilized. The school district plans to spend about $150,000 to provide new teachers with mentors before their first day of work. Smith said in the past, mentors have received a monthly stipend, but that was dissolved with the loss of state funding. “The requirement for teachers to have a mentor stayed in place, but the funding was taken away,” she said. “A lot of times we have unfunded mandates.” About $75,000 will be used to offer incentives to lure teachers in the areas of math, science, exceptional learning

Board approves Tuscarora incentives BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com

CHINA GROVE — The board approved an incentive grant for a textile company that has been in China Grove for more than two decades and plans to expand operations. Tuscarora Yarns Inc. is looking to consolidate operations and is considering moving from one location in China Grove to a bigger building within the town. No one spoke at the board’s Tuesday public hearing concerning the move. The company would move from its longstanding location, 406 N. Main St., to a bigger building a few blocks away at the former Hanesbrand building at 308 E. Thom St. Since 1986, the company has been located on Main Street. The proposed project would represent $6.2 million of new investment in China Grove and Rowan County. The project would keep the 57 full-time employees as well as create more than 120 new jobs. The company will receive a grant of 75 percent of the property tax revenue expected to be generated by the project. Earlier this week the Rowan County Board of Commissioners approved an incentive grant for the company. The company can apply for a five-year grant, but must meet all criteria in order to continue receiving the grant. The grant or rebate would be reduced if the company fails to meet the minimum employment goals. If the company ceases operations or eliminates the majority of its workforce, it will be required to repay all grant proceeds received in the past three years. According to information provided by RowanWorks, under the terms of the agreement, China Grove would collect $27,047 annually in taxes on the new investment. Tuscarora, after paying its taxes for the new investment, would receive $20,285 back annually as a grant for five years. During this time, China Grove would retain $6,762. After the expiration of the agreement, China Grove would keep the full $27,047 in annual taxes. During the five incentivized years, Tuscarora

Rowan, Cabarrus to focus on science, math BY ELIZABETH COOK ecook@salisburypost.com

KANNAPOLIS — Rowan and Cabarrus counties share a county line, the city of Kannapolis and Rowan-Cabarrus Community College. Can they also join forces to draw more students toward science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) training? The people at N.C. STEM Community Collaborative believe they can. Public officials, chamber leaders and school administrators from the two counties gathered at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College’s biotechnology building Wednesday to learn about the collaborative. The goal is to create new ways to boost science, technology, engineering and math training in K-12 — apart from programs already in place — so graduates will be better prepared for college and the workplace. The STEM effort, which is being called the new Sputnik program, would raise local education expectations. The session featured two representatives of NC STEM — Cindi Jolly, director of community outreach; and Sara Price, community liaison — who explained the steps the community would go through to create its own collaborative STEM project. They include community engagement, a community kickoff, visioning, developing an education innovation design plan and submitting it for review, all within six to nine months. Three communities in the state are ready to launch projects: Lenoir County, Davie County and an 11-county area around Fort Bragg. • Lenoir County: A hub for science, technology, engineering and mathematics training is to be developed at the Global TransPark Training Center in Kinston. According to reports in the Kinston Free Press, the Lenoir STEM group has received pledges for some $150,000 in grants and in-kind investments from businesses, nonprofits and other local

WHAT THE ‘L,’ CALEB HILL? Musician is making a name for himself BY SARAH HALL shall@salisburypost.com

Before asking CaLeb Danger Hill about his music, it seems necessary to get the obvious question out of the way: Why does he have a capital “L” in the middle of his name? Yes, that’s the legal spelling on his birth certificate. As far as a parental explanation, he says his mother has been “ambiguous.” When he was younger, she told him if there were another Caleb in his class the L would help him stand out. CaLeb says someday, when he’s a father, he might one-up his parents by putting an exclamation point in his kid’s name. “Joe!” he illustrates gleefully. He confides he now considers the L a tool for measuring who really knows him and cares enough to spell his name correctly. He considers it a compliment when someone capitalizes the L. Now, on to the middle name, “Danger.” But it’s pronounced not in the usual way but to rhyme with “anger.” And he admits that “danger” isn’t really his middle name. Lately, he’s been trying on a new name for his music act: “Small Mountain.” His parents, Paul and Cynthia Hill, are responsible for that, too. According to CaLeb, “When you say the name ‘Hill’ on the telephone, the el sound disappears. So when my parents talked on the phone, I would hear them say, ‘It’s Hill, like a small mountain.’” Small Mountain is CaLeb and whoever happens to be performing with him at the moment. He doesn’t have a regular band. “I’m a narcissist to a fault,” he says. “I want to incorporate others, but I haven’t found the right people yet. But I don’t want to be ‘CaLeb Hill and Whoever.’” He compares the situation to Bright Eyes, which is mostly Conor Oberst, but also utilizes a changing roster of collaborating musicians. Whatever CaLeb chooses to call himself, he’s come a long way musically since the name he was called in high school, “ukulele guy,” when he carried that instrument with him around the halls of West Rowan. He’s been performing since age 16, and now at age 19 he’s already played in more bands and had more solo gigs than some veteran performers. He’s not proud of his early band efforts, which he describes as “screamo death metal crap.” He wanted to make music, but at the time the introverted CaLeb didn’t feel he could hold an audience’s attention all by himself, and thought he’d find strength in numbers. So he tried performing in basements with metal bands, the only

He says his family would come to hear him perform, then insult him afterwards — and he had to agree with them that it sounded really bad. It wasn’t until he ventured out alone with only his acoustic guitar that CaLeb found his voice, and calling. He soon became in demand locally as a solo per-

Child Advocacy Center seeks accreditation from state BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com

As many as one in four girls and one in six boys will be abused before they are 18. When children are abused there is a place they can turn to for support — Prevent Child Abuse Rowan and the Terrie Hess House Children’s Advocacy Center. The Terrie Hess House is a program of Prevent Child Abuse Rowan and has been at its present location since 2004 when Rowan Regional Medical Center agreed to partner with Prevent Child Abuse Rowan by leasing the property at 130 Woodson St. The hospital system provides the building and utilities. “We try to reduce the trauma to children who have been abused,” said Executive Director Liz Thomas. The center is in the process of seeking national accreditation through the state chapter of the National Children’s Alliance, and is currently implementing new state standards. The center will have an open house event Friday so people can learn more about the facility, volunteer and donation opportunities.

The center is provisionally accredited, meaning it has made significant steps toward meeting full accreditation with Children’s Advocacy Centers of North Carolina, the state’s accrediting body. An agency that has full accreditation is capable of receiving more funding, which would allow for more services to be offered. The services the center offers include a doctor who provides on-site medical exams; a counselor who conducts one-on-one and family therapy sessions; also on-site interviews by a trained Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner; a family advocate who provides education, case management and court advocacy. All of the services are of no cost to the families. The center is currently writing protocol so when an abuse occurs the team, which consists of police, social services, medical personnel and victim’s advocates can create a plan of action. “We talk about the case. We work as a team through the entire time of the case,” she said.

Public invited to comment at police accreditation hearing A team of assessors from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA) will be in Salisbury Saturday to examine all aspects of the Salisbury Police Department’s policy and procedure, management, operations, and support services, Salisbury Police Chief Rory Collins said Wednesday. As a part of the on-site assessment, agency employees and members of the community are invited to offer comments at a public information session on Monday, Dec. 13 beginning at 5 p.m. The session will be conducted in the Salisbury Police Department’s Community Assembly Room, located at 130 E. Liberty St. If for some reason an individual is not able to speak at the public information session, but would still like to provide comments to the assessment team, they may do so by telephone. The public may call 704-6382089 on Monday, Dec. 13, from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m. Telephone comments, and those made at the public information session, are limited to 10 minutes and must address the agency's ability to comply with CALEA’s standards. A copy of the standards is available at the Salisbury Police Department. Local contact is Sgt. R.A. Efird, Accreditation Manager, at 704638-2124. Those wishing to offer written comment about the Salisbury Police Department's ability to meet the standards for accreditation are requested to write to: Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc.

CENTER FROM 4a In the past, Thomas said, police, social services, medical personnel and victim’s advocates all conducted interviews, a process that has been found to further traumatize the victims. Now, one interview is conducted, usually at a child advocacy center, where a forensic interview is done by the Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner. A forensic interview ensures the interviewer’s objectivity, employs non-leading techniques and emphasizes carefully documented interviews.

HEARING FROM 4a Boulevard, Suite 320 Gainesville, Va. 20155. Verification by the team that the Salisbury Police Department meets the Commission’s state-of-the-art standards is part of a voluntary process to gain accreditation, which is a highly prized recognition of law enforcement professional excellence, Collins said. The Salisbury Police Department must comply with 464 standards to gain accredited status. “Receiving accreditation is the most significant advancement that a law enforcement agency can accomplish.

most meaningful achievement is the enhanced level of service that is provided to the community. Maintaining accredited status is more difficult as you must show that you are remaining in compliance with all applicable standards as well as with your policies, procedures, and programs developed and implemented to meet the standards.” Effird said the assessment team is composed of law enforcement practitioners from similar, but out-of-state agencies. The assessors will review written materials, interview individuals and visit offices and other places where compliance can be witnessed. The assessors are: Capt. Bruce Robertson with the Centerville Police Department, Centerville Ohio and Capt. Nancy

Dietz with the Wilmington Department of Police, Wilmington, Del. Once the Commission’s assessors complete their review of the agency, they report back to the full commission, which will then decide if the agency is to be granted accredited status, Efird said. Accreditation is for three years, and during that threeyear period, the agency must submit annual reports attesting continued compliance with those standards under which they were initially accredited.

construction, equipment installation and infrastructure improvements will be complete by Dec. 31, 2011. “The company is looking to make a decision within next 30-60 days about which direction they are going,” said RowanWorks Executive Director Rober Van Geons.

‘Homeland’ pilot episode to be filmed in Charlotte area Although people can’t tune into “Homeland” yet, they will. And when they do, the locations will look familiar to Charlotte-area television viewers. 20th Century Fox Television is in town doing pre-production work for the Showtime pilot and will begin shooting the psychological thriller in the Charlotte region after the first of the year. If the pilot is a hit – and with the track record of those associated with the project, it will be – it would be picked up as a series that would be filmed in the region. Howard Gordon, former “24” and “The X-Files” executive producer and writer, is producing and cowriting “Homeland.” “Dexter” director Michael Cuesta is directing. In addition to

he asked vendors if they minded if he set up and played, and they didn’t have a problem with it, as long as he didn’t “play anything offensive.” It went well until he was handcuffed by a security guard for collecting payment for playing without permission. “I wasn’t asking for money, but then people opened my case and put money in it,” he explains. CaLeb would make music all the time if he could. He attended RCCC for a while, but his class schedule wasn’t fitting in with performing. His goal is to eventually be a fulltime musician, but right now he’s working at a pizza place. When he’s not at work or performing, he’s writing music. He says this doesn’t leave him much time to listen to music, so he’s not all that familiar with current bands and trends, and just does his own thing. When he does get a chance to listen, some acts he especially likes are Bob Dylan, the Avett Brothers, Paleface and Langhorne Slim. He admires Victoria Vox’s ukulele arrangements. And he has been studying and seeking to emulate the “controlled aggression” of the Tallest Man on Earth. Locally, some people may

recognize CaLeb more as an actor than singer. A couple of years ago, he had the lead role of Benjamin in the Piedmont Players’ production of “The Graduate,” and he has also had parts in PPT shows “Kudzu” and “Curtains.” CaLeb says would also love to be an actor, but music seems a better possibility. He says actors have to focus on getting roles to build their resume, but a musician can perform anytime and anywhere, even on a bus (à la Jack White). “I want to be a performer of some type,” he says. “I’ll be either successful or homeless.” So far, CaLeb’s performing has been mostly in Salisbury, with only a few forays to Statesville, Troutman and the Evening Muse in Charlotte. He’s limited by transportation, not talent. “I don’t have a good enough car to travel. Right now the doors don’t open, so I have to leave the windows down, or crawl in through the trunk. I look like I’m stealing my own car.” He will also need to spend more time recording his songs if he wants to get his name and sound out there. But he says he’s a perfectionist, and he keeps re-recording. Also, he says he has at least four different versions of each of his songs, which are selected according to his mood and the mood of his audiences. He can’t decide which versions to record. And he believes peo-

ELIZABETH EDWARDS: 1949-2010

Resilient to the end lizabeth Edwards didn’t serve in public office, invent a cure for cancer or steer a multimillion-dollar media company. Yet the death Tuesday of this lawyer and mother from North Carolina was national news, even meriting mention on entertainment news shows. Some would say the travails of her life elevated Elizabeth Edwards to celebrity status. Maybe so. But those twists of fate also gave her Everywoman status. She suffered. She was one of us. And in situations that would crush most people’s spirits, she persevered. Elizabeth Edwards rose to the national stage as a very atypical political spouse — not svelte, deferential or programmed. She spoke her mind in a spontaneous and compelling way. That alone might have set her apart in the public’s mind. But when she received a cancer diagnosis immediately after husband John faced his worst political defeat, hearts went out to her. The way she responded to that setback and, in a few years, to cancer’s return and John’s scandal, made an indelible impression. If life were merciful, another news event would come along now to push the Edwards family from the headlines so they can grieve in private. But those mercies have been few for the Edwardses of late, so it is inescapable that in reporting the traits that made so many people admire Elizabeth, stories will also recount John’s infidelity and dwell once again on the lies he told. Cameras will follow him and old tapes will be replayed. But this is Elizabeth’s story. In her book, “Resilience,” she wrote about the idealistic storyline she imagined for her life — successful lawyer, happy wife and mother. Forces beyond her control kept changing the story’s direction. A fatal accident. An awful betrayal. An inescapable disease. She kept pushing forward, though, writing books, supporting causes, appearing on talk shows, opening a furniture store in Chapel Hill. In the end, she was left with a story that was not what she had hoped for. But it was her story. “I can only be what I am capable of being,” she wrote in the closing lines of “Resilience.” She goes on” “I have said before that I do not know what the most important lesson is that I will ever teach my children, Cate and Emma Claire and Jack. I do know that when they are older and telling their own children about their grandmother, they will be able to say that she stood in the storm, and when the wind did not blow her way — and it surely has not — she adjusted her sails.”

Elizabeth Edwards: Public life, private pain These are excerpts from some published commentaries on the death of Elizabeth Edwards. From Democratic political consultant Gary Pearce: A friend wondered why Elizabeth Edwards’ life and death transfixed so many people. Maybe it’s the American fascination with the lives of the rich and famous — especially when they are marked by so many triumphs and tragedies. For her they were, in order: the death of a child, her husband’s meteoric rise in politics, late-life birth of children, her outspoken public and private roles, two campaigns for president, cancer, a fight for life — and the cruel ending of sex, lies and videotape. Then death too young. Although I worked in John Edwards’ Senate campaign in 1997 and 1998, I never knew Elizabeth well. She was recovering from their son’s death and then was pregnant with a new child. But she clearly was a smart and forceful presence. My involvement with the Edwardses ended after the 1998 election. I learned later that I had run afoul of Elizabeth over how the campaign was run. Any resentment I ever held melted away when I was fortunate enough to miss all that was to come. On the public stage, the real person often gets lost. For better and for worse, she was more real than most. Whatever life brought her way, she was totally open and honest about it. Every new chapter brought her a new legion of fans — and eventually detractors. But people who knew her well say she was, above all, a good mother. The irony is that, in the end, this most non-traditional of political wives may have a far greater impact than her husband. From News & Observer columnist Rob Christensen: Edwards spent much of her life as a lit-

beginning of this year but remained close. Through it all, Edwards helped change the way political wives were viewed. She was the self-proclaimed “anti-Barbie” who was comfortable sitting in on campaign strategy meetings, chatting with Oprah on TV, or even going head-to-head with conservative columnist Ann Coulter. She brought a similar self-possession to the media attacks that circulated around her in the wake of news about her husband’s affair. “I’m 5-feet-2, dark-haired and could hardly be further from the Barbie figure,” Edwards once said. “I think of myself as a fairly serious person.”

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Edwards, shown here in a 2007 file photo, died Tuesday at age 61. tle-known Raleigh lawyer and mother. But that all changed when her husband, John Edwards, entered politics as a U.S. senator, two-time presidential candidate and Democratic nominee for vice president. Her husband's career propelled her into the spotlight as a smart, plain-spoken wife who was a key adviser to her husband. She later was admired for how she carried herself in her battle with breast cancer and the way she dealt with her husband's infidelity. And, in the last few years, her public image shifted again: the scorned woman whose husband fathered a child with another woman. She and John Edwards separated at the

From Charlotte Observer columnist Tommy Tomlinson: They met at the UNC law school, and she became a bankruptcy lawyer while he went after personal-injury cases. Early in their marriage, they had two children, Wade and Cate. But in 1996, Wade died in a one-car wreck on the way to the family’s beach house. He was 16. After that John and Elizabeth quit life for a while. Then they got up and faced the sun. They decided they wanted more children. And so she took fertility drugs, and she had Emma Claire when she was 48, and Jack when she was 50. It happened over and over. Her life crumbled, and she made herself a new one. When you do that enough times, the pieces don’t all fit right anymore. But she pressed them together and moved on. What does someone like Elizabeth Edwards live for? She must have thought she’d be First Lady, even though she knew she could’ve been more. Later she must have felt like a fool, even though she knew how many people still loved her. Life is not fair, and Elizabeth Edwards is dead at 61. But she had four children, and she lived a fascinating life, and in the end she rose higher than the small people around her. If she had a chance to live that life again, I bet she’d take it.

Excerpts from comments at www.salisburypost.com

What online readers are saying about ... ... Head-on collision kills local woman From southernmost point: Why does it always seem that the wrong person dies or is severely injured in these senseless “accidents.” From mad dawg: To many people driving while impaired these days!! Here we have a innocent woman dead because of someone’s lack of responsibility. The sad thing is we have attorneys out here that will fight tooth and nail to get someone out of a DWI. ... My heart goes out to the family of this lady.

(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)

The only thing that saves us from bureaucracy is its inefficiency. — Eugene McCarthy

SALISBURY POST

From squeaky1: While I am totally against DWIs, you cannot blame the attorneys; they are doing their job. No different than someone that defends a murderer, etc. You must blame the system that has so many loopholes, especially with DWIs.

Moderately confused ... PGT offers local workers jobs in Florida From eastrowandad: That’s a generous offer. I would seriously consider it. Relocation allowance is rare to hourly workers. From shootsanikon: I honestly think it is a slap in the face to the employees to have them apply for those positions in Florida who have been loyal to PGT for several years, my brother being one of them. I am heartbroken for these families. From rowanresident2010: Everyone keeps talking about how PGT had big plans when they moved to Rowan. I doubt anyone knew the economy would turn to crap when they made those plans. Ever plan to do something but things didn’t work out? Like go to college, but couldn’t or didn’t? Like play pro football, but blew out your knee? Sometimes, even the best laid plans don’t always work out.

At least this company isn’t moving overseas.

... Company asks city for cash incentive From garth: Everyone needs to understand that all businesses are looking for tax credits, grants and other financial incentives. They are going where they are going to have the most success and that quite often boils down to what city is going to give them the best incentives! From volunteer: The solution to this problem is to offer an incentive, but have stipulations in writing that legally bind the company to stay. For instance, the company HAS to employ X amount of people by a certain date. The company has to stay in Rowan County X number of years, etc. If the company breaks the contract, it should have to forfeit the money back to the city with interest. From p.k: What is City Council thinking? I agree — give it to law enforcement and the schools. The schools are here to stay. Just the other day the post reported the loss of many jobs with the school system. Keep these jobs and help the police officers combat this gang problem and drug mess in Rowan County.

... Hedgepeth gets life in Bullin murders From agent fox: This convict will spend life in prison at taxpayers’ expense. He will be served three meals a day, he will have a warm bed to sleep in, he will have a simple life. No worries, no work, no bills. He should have gotten the death penalty. Plain and simple. From lamar: Life in prison must be worst than a death sentence. Your life is over. Death penalty cases cost a fortune ... will be appealed for years ... and there is a moratorium in most states. The DA did the best for the family, the county and state. Punishment has started and will continue.

Two-year-old Alyssia Lynn Kirby was pronounced dead at the hospital. Wilson spokesman John Slaughter says an autopsy shows the toddler did not die from natural causes.

Journey to Bethlehem Direct Furniture Factory Outlet nativity this weekend STORE CLOSING SALE CHINA GROVE — The Journey to Bethlehem, a drive-through nativity, will be held this weekend. The three-day event will be Friday-Sunday, 6 p.m.-9 p.m. at New Hope Presbyterian Church , 602 Stevens St., China Grove. Each year since 1998, New Hope and other local churches have acted out more than a dozen scenes that illustrate the life and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Last year, because of the economy many were not able to continue what has become a tradition in this area. In 2003, the church took a break and again in 2009, the economy and low participation were some of the reasons the annual event was canceled. This year’s new coordina-

tor, Pablo Sanchez, had for years been the innkeeper in a scene. The event is also made possible with the help of about 120 people who build sets/props, prepare snacks, act in scenes and break down the sets. It takes volunteers two work days to completely build the sets throughout October and November. The volunteers afterward break down the sets in the early part of next year around late January or early February. The display is pretty much the same as in years past. There will still be a number of live animals in the scenes, including horses and goats. Thousands from Rowan County, across the state and the region are expected to attend the event.

John Cox of the Cabarrus Regional Chamber of Commerce, Mike Legg, Kannapolis City Manager and N.C. Rep. Linda Johnson were among the Cabarrus attendees. Some 300 people were invited to the session; 50 agreed to attend. Spalding signed an agreement with NC STEM in August, eager to leverage the N.C. Research Campus to bring resources to the area and spur innovation. “We are sitting on a gold mine,” she said at an economic development meeting Wednesday morning. “This could be the most important thing we do in this decade coming up.” Funding for NC STEM comes from the nonprofit MCNC, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and community partners. After the two-hour session Wednesday afternoon, Spalding said she understood if anyone was suffering “pangs of ambiguity.” The program and its goals should become more concrete, she said, as local participants work through the stages outlined by NC STEM.

CULTURED CHRISTMAS

www.salisburypost.com

Attending Miss Rowan County Pageant eginning my senior year I decided to set certain goals for myself. My goals were to work hard to try and be a straight A student; to try to have as much fun as possible before August of next year; and to experience new activities. So far I have achieved all of these things, especially when it comes to experiencing new activities. Thus far I have run cross country for the first time, attended the Miss Junior Civitan Pageant at my school, and had the wonderful opportunity to write articles such as this. However, the true purpose for this column is to write about my most recent new experience. This past Saturday was the Miss Rowan County and Miss OutANITA standing Teen pageant at Carson OVERSTREET High School. Through the process of planning this event, Charlotte Cherry put in more than an overabundance of effort. This woman always goes over and beyond what is expected from her. Knowing Charlotte for the past five years, I was in awe of the finished product. A close friend of mine and I attended this event because of Charlotte, and while there learned that it was the first time in about 30 years that our county has had a delegate to advance to the Miss North Carolina Pageant this coming summer. To be able to say I was there for that historical event is a really different feeling. However, the girls involved — one of whom graduated from East Rowan two years ago and two currently attend East as a junior and a senior — get to say, “I was a part of that historical event.” I can honestly say that being in attendance meant a great deal to me because of meeting Miss Thomasville, seeing the pageant, for both the sake of the girls as well as Charlotte Cherry, and having a good time with a close friend. Events such as this are things that will always be in my memories. I am grateful for being able to share this with you, my readers, to show that our community has many different ways for people of all ages to be involved. A special recognition goes out to all of the participants, the committee who planned the pageant and all of the entertainment this past Saturday. Anita Overstreet is a senior at East Rowan High School.

Students make ornaments to celebrate other countries B Y S ARAH C AMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com

FAITH — Students at Faith Elementary School recently received a lesson in cultural awareness, making ornaments to represent various cultures for their “Holidays Around the World” trees. Principal Jacqueline Maloney said students in every grade decorated five Christmas trees for the school’s cafeteria. “They’ve done a wonderful job,” she said. “It’s really bringing the kids together,” she said. Maloney said each morning the lights to the trees are turned on before breakfast and students come in searching for their creations. Fifth-graders made origami cranes for ornaments while learning about Japanese culture. Students read “Tree of Cranes” to go along with the lesson. Kelly Reinholz said her fifth grade academically and intellectually gifted students are taking it a step further. “They are researching different countries and doing presentations about how

they celebrate holidays,” she said. “It’s important for them to learn that not everything is done the same way.” Fourth-graders made ornaments in the shape of North Carolina. They wrote their favorite thing about the their home state on one side and a place they wanted to visit or live on the other. Serena Wale would like to visit Hawaii, but she wrote on her ornament that she doesn’t want to leave North Carolina because her friends and family are here. Taylor Brown said she wants to live in Italy one day because she “loves Italian food.” The food is the reason Matthew Almond likes North Carolina. He said McDonald’s is his favorite place here. Matthew said he’d like to visit Transylvania so that he can “study vampires and search for Dracula.” Dee Thompson said it was good to introduce her students to different places. “We also talked about some of the various jobs that might take them to other countries,” she said. Matthew said he was hap-

Senior Spotlight: East Rowan’s Kelsey Hedspeth A NITA O VERSTREET intern@salisburypost.com

submittEd pHoto

Kelsey Hedspeth is a senior at East Rowan.

Kelsey Hedspeth doesn’t call attention to herself. But this East Rowan High School senior — who is highly involved in and out of school — definitely deserves some time in the spotlight. Throughout her high school career, Kelsey has been active in student government, Junior Civitan, SADD, Key Club and the yearbook staff, as well as being a leader for the Drafting Club. Kelsey regularly attends YCI and YoungLife meetings and participates annually in Broadway Revue. Outside of school, Hedspeth attends Grace United Methodist Church, going on mission trips and completing community service with the youth group. When not helping others or participating in extracurricular activities, she enjoys spending time with her family and friends. She can be found cheering from the East student section, attending basketball games in

Charlotte, attending concerts, taking road trips, eating at Johnny’s before school or just relaxing and watching movies. She also enjoys photography and finding new bands in all different genres. Kelsey looks back fondly on many classes, but the one that stands out is Honors Chemistry 2/AP Chemistry. She enjoyed ending every day junior year in the atmosphere created by the teacher, his eccentric stories, his love for Cheerwine and the other students. However, she says her most defining high school experience was joining Student Council. Through that, she has learned to step out of her comfort zone and has seen that being a true leader is not seeking the limelight. After graduating this spring, Kelsey plans to attend the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. She has been accepted into the Lee College of Engineering but is also interested in architecture and photography, as well as music management and marketing.

Dr. Timothy C. Okeke, chairman of the Social Work Department and director of the Social Work Program at Livingstone College, was awarded the PLCSW license from the North Carolina Social Work Certification and Licensing Board on Oct. 1. The license allows Okeke to practice clinical social work with children, adolescents, adults and families with mental health, alcohol and substance abuse and behavior disorders. The license must be renewed every two years. To be awarded the license, a person has to earn an MSW or Ph.D. in social work and be eligible for 3,000 hours of practice in a clinical setting. “I don’t have my own practice, but I hope to have one at some point,” Okeke said. OKEKE “Right now I’m using my skills on students here at Livingstone College. I can use it to get an extra job, but I have a full load here.” Obtaining a clinical social work license has been a longtime goal of Okeke. “It enriches my academic experience and opens more avenues for me,” he said. “It will enable me to have my own practice in any of those areas, and I really think having a certification in substance abuse counseling will help me because, unfortunately, there are a lot of people with substance abuse problems.” Okeke, who has worked at Livingstone for three years, teaches core social work courses and directs the college’s social work field practicum. He said he likes the direction the college has taken since Dr. Jimmy R. Jenkins, Sr. became president five years ago. “I like where the college is going,” Okeke said. “I like the Holistic approach to learning. I like it that we have a lot of different programs that enrich student learning. I would not add a thing to what the president is doing except improve on them if given the opportunity.” Okeke said he likes the social work profession because of its versatility. “You’re exposed to different areas of people’s lives,” he said. “That’s one good thing about it. I also like the profession because it affords those of us in it the chance to help people and make a difference in their lives. It’s a very rewarding profession.”

RCCC class joins ‘Don Quixote’ global reading Students taking Spanish at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College (RCCC) are participating in a global reading of the famous Spanish novel, “Don Quixote de la Mancha.” Individuals from around the world can be seen and heard reading from the novel on the Internet site YouTube. Through the “Quixote 2.0” project of the Royal Academy of the Spanish Language, based in Spain, people from around the world are being recorded on video while reading an excerpt from the novel in Spanish. “The short videos are being spliced and loaded onto YouTube,” explained RCCC Spanish instructor Roberta Anne Kern. “The entire novel will be read from start to finish by Spanish speakers, where anyone with Internet access can experience it.” All 14 students from Kern’s Spanish 112 class (section 41) participated in the project. Those who did not read helped with recoding the video and audio. Kern took the lead in the reading since Miguel de Cervantes wrote his novel of the early 1600s in

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — The state Education Board has approved an alternative certification path that allows Teach for America recruits to get jobs in South Carolina classrooms. The board approved Wednesday a new way for college graduates without an education degree to teach. It came over the objections of teacher groups and college education departments. They wanted the board to block Teach for

America graduates from teaching in elementary grades, saying budget cuts mean certified teachers for those grades already can’t find work. The approved guidelines allow up to 30 percent of jobs filled through Teach for America to be in the early grades. The nonprofit recruits recent college graduates to struggling schools. It plans to bring 30 teachers to Pee Dee schools next year.

Christmas is a very important time of the year. It’s one of the biggest holidays of the year. Some people only look forward to the gifts, but you should not just want gifts. You should only want time with family and friends. You should be happy with just that. Christmas means a lot to me because of time I can spend with family and friends. To me, that’s the best gift of all. — By Brandon Castillo

Christmastime poetry People say Santa isn’t real, but he is very much alive. He’s in everybody’s hearts and comes every year during Christmas. Christmas is about spending time with family and giving to the people that wouldn’t get anything otherwise. Many kids wouldn’t be happy without big, expensive presents under the Christmas tree. While I understand, I truly feel the holiday joy is to give to someone unfortunate; everybody deserves to be pampered at least once every year. And that’s what I hope to do this year. People don’t take the time to ponder the things that they think are “necessary” that other people don’t have. But please have a Merry Christmas and take the time to think about the people less fortunate! Merry Christmas! — By Victoria Sheve

Ask Amy: New holiday tradition revolves around reading Dear readers: My first book was Dr. Seuss’ “Green Eggs and Ham.” My family’s copy landed in my hands after my older siblings had practically read the covers off of it. My mother read it aloud to me (repeatedly) until I finally unthe locked code and started to read by myself. Everybody ASK has a first AMY book — or, rather, everybody should have a first book. Unfortunately, in a season that has already seen recordsetting pre-orders for a video game, statistics on reading and literacy are alarming: According to literacy organizations, less than half of

young children in this country are read to regularly. A high percentage of American families have no children’s books in the home. This holiday season I am putting my column where my heart is, and so I’m asking “Ask Amy” readers to celebrate by giving a book to a child, through a homegrown campaign called, “A Book on Every Bed.” Here’s how it works: Take a book. Wrap it. Place it on a child’s bed so it’s the first thing she sees on Christmas morning (or whatever holiday you celebrate). That’s it. I’m working with the Family Reading Partnership, a literacy organization in my hometown of Ithaca, N.Y., to spread the word about the importance of reading with children. A million stories: Our goal

is for a million American children to wake up to a wrapped book on their beds. This is not a fundraising appeal. This is not about buying books (the book you give can be passed down). “A Book on Every Bed” is an appeal to spread the love of reading from parents to children. We also want to encourage families to share books by reading aloud. Santa brings a Pulitzer: This idea was inspired by one of America’s favorite writers. Historian and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner David McCullough says that every Christmas morning during his childhood, he woke up to a wrapped book at the foot of his bed, left by Santa. McCullough’s children (and now grandchildren) are also recipients of this literary largesse, creating a wonderful tradition.

When he heard about this effort, Mr. McCullough emailed me: “There are few things that start the day off better, and especially on Christmas, than discovering a new book at the foot of your bed. “I think my love of books began on Christmas mornings long ago and the love has never gone stale.” Start a tradition: My hope is that other families will enjoy a tradition that revolves around reading together. I further hope that librarians, teachers, bookstore owners and literacy advocates spread this idea as far and wide as it will go, making it possible for any family that wants a child to receive a book to get one. Reading is a vital life skill. Reading leads to a life filled with ideas, feelings and creative expressions. Reading will make you

smart. It will also make you less lonely, because a person with a book is never alone. Books can be lifelong friends — ready to be opened when a person has an extra minute in the carpool line, or stacked in an unruly pile next to the bed, awaiting that next dark night of the soul — when a reader craves illumination and the company of beloved characters. Literacy starts early: Thoughtful parents introduce books very early in life. They read to their own bellies while pregnant, let their infants chew on cardboard books and encourage their toddlers to leaf through picture books. Kids who grow up surrounded by books and stories have a leg up in life. Because children who love books grow up to be good and attentive listeners. And kids who read for pleasure have ready

access to heroes. Wrap and read it together: This is a simple concept with one big goal: to raise and foster a generation of readers. I would love to hear (and share) your ideas and stories of book giving and receiving — before, during and after the holiday season. You can find me on Facebook, Twitter and through the address below. Readers can also see a home video of me reading with my favorite toddler; posted on familyreading.org.

Cheapskate: Reader asks about possibility of credit reporting error

New York

Dear Linda: I am not an attorney and cannot give legal advice. What I can do is urge

you to contact an attorney right away. I am concerned that this lien never was discharged as you were led to believe. My understanding is you can't discharge a federal tax lien. A Chapter 7 bankruptcy wipes out your personal obligation to pay the debt and prevents the Internal Revenue Service from going after your bank account or wages, but if the IRS records a tax lien on your property before you file for bankruptcy, the lien remains on the property. In effect, this means you’ll have to pay off the tax lien in order to sell the property. For your sake, I hope I'm wrong. Dear Mary: My adult daughter was talking about getting a part-time job (in addition to her full-time teaching job) to earn some extra money. My husband reminded her that “not spending” is really the

best way to earn more money. By not spending on extras and by cutting back when possible, she could save money. She would have to earn at least $1.30 to make up for each dollar spent, by the time the government took out taxes from her paycheck. I thought this was sensible advice. — Lin, Michigan

Dear Lin: Wise advice, indeed. But more than that, your daughter needs to assess how much that second job would cost in terms of gas, parking, more restaurant and fast food because she’s pressed for time, and myriad other job-related expenses that would nibble away at the true value of that second job. Dear Mary: I work for a homebuilder and found an article in a recent industry mag-

azine about a software program (with a hefty price tag of $1,600!) that is intended to help you pay off your 30-year mortgage in only 16 years. This seems too good to be true. I would love to know what you think. — Candy, Texas

Dear Candy: I know about those types of programs, and quite frankly, I am not a fan. You can do the same thing without buying any software or exposing yourself to undue risk. Here’s how: Each month when you make your mortgage payment, write out a second check for one-twelfth of a payment. (If your mortgage payment is $1,200, you'd send that check and one for $100.) Write on that second check “Principal Prepayment Only.” At the end of the year, you will have made 13 mortgage payments, with one of

them going entirely to reducing the principal. Do this faithfully and you will lop many years and many thousands of dollars in interest from your mortgage payback. I guarantee your lender will accept the additional payment, and you will not have to pay a fee for some special payment program. And you can stop if you find yourself in a financial bind.

Thursday, Dec. 9 The dawning knowledge that certain areas of your life have been unproductive could motivate you to explore fresh fields in the near future. One or two new venues could turn out to be wise choices that will carry you far. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Try to engage in taking more protective action that will directly affect your security instead of thinking nothing could ever happen to you. There are always crooked people around. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — An individual you don't know too well might approach you regarding going in with him/her on an enticing situation. Check things out thoroughly before getting involved. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Continue to do everything in accordance with your highest standards, because the slightest deviation from doing so could get you into all kinds of trouble. Stay on the straight and narrow. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — A lack of care concerning your associations could draw you into a bad involvement with someone who is extremely unethical. It'll not be a person with whom you want to identify. Aries (March 21-April 19) — It may be just a false rumor, but to stay on the safe side, don't do business with any firm that you've heard some unflattering comments about until you know otherwise. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Don't put too much trust in an individual with a questionable reputation. If this person hasn't stood the test of time, there may be good reason for it. Why take a chance? Gemini (May 21-June 20) — If you've made a mistake or did something wrong, don't attempt to hide it. Instead, try to rectify it to the best of your ability. Covering up your mistake would be a poor choice of tactics. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — When dealing with someone who needs help, be up front with that person and tell him/her the straight dope. If you fail to be honest and forthright, you'll only gum up the works. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Instead of agreeing to do something that you suspect you might not be able to follow through on, voice your reservations. Don't take a chance on letting this person down. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Tasks that are tough to accomplish could become even more difficult to do with time. There is no advantage in postponing them -- bite the bullet and do what needs doing now. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Go ahead and be good to yourself, but not to the point of catering to all your whims, or doing so at the expense of others. Self-indulgence can carry some major penalties if you're not careful. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Selfish acts that affect your family as a whole could become more abrasive if ignored and/or left uncorrected. Stop yourself from being one of the principal contributors.

Reader’s medication may be cause of muscle cramps Dear Dr. Gott: On an almost daily basis, I have muscle cramps in my hands, fingers, legs, feet and toes. They occur during the day and night. I take 25 milligrams of HydroDiuril and two 595-milligram doses of overthe-counter potassium gluconate. I drink several glasses of water a day plus water with my meals. Is DR. PETER there anything else that I can do to reGOTT lieve these cramps? Dear reader: HydroDiuril is simply hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ), a common medication used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). It can cause muscle and joint pain and a reduction of potassium, which can cause cramping, but you are on supplements to avoid the common side effects. HCTZ can also cause a reduction in the amount of magnesium in your body. While studies suggest that most people may be deficient already, symptoms are not common.

If your low levels are further reduced by your medication, this can lead to symptoms of deficiency, which include cramping. Try adding a magnesium supplement to determine whether the cramping lessens. Speak to your doctor to determine how much you should take. If this doesn’t help, perhaps a change in medication is in order. Other possible options include calcium supplements, eating pickles or drinking the juice, consuming electrolyte or sports drinks (pickles, pickle juice and sports drinks can be high in sodium, so be sure to read labels), or rubbing marjoram oil (one part marjoram to one part castor or olive oil to prevent skin irritation) over the affected areas. To provide related information, I am sending you copies of my Health Reports “Dr. Gott’s Compelling Home Remedies” and “More Compelling Home Remedies.” Other readers who would like copies should send a self-addressed stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 check or money order per report payable to Newsletter and mailed to Newslet-

ter, P.O. Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092. Be sure to mention the title(s) or print an order form off my website at www.AskDrGottMD.com. Dear Dr. Gott: My 41⁄2 -year-old son is developmentally delayed and was diagnosed as having low muscle tone. With the help of therapy, he sat up at 1 year and walked at 21⁄2. He is also in speech therapy and isn’t completely potty trained. Emotionally and mentally, he is behind his pre-K peers and will be going into special education in kindergarten. He is extremely hyperactive and ADD, which contributes to his problems. My concern now is that he often has “oniony” breath and body odor, even when he hasn’t eaten any onions. Could this be a symptom of something that his doctors missed? Your feedback would be greatly welcomed. Thank you. Dear reader: The simple answer is yes, it could be a symptom of an underlying condition; however, I don’t know whether it is likely. Certain medications can cause changes in the smell of body odor, breath, urine and

even stool. Most often other, more definitive symptoms are present, too. There are several forums online of parents discussing the various odors their children emit. Most seem to say the children outgrow it, or that their pediatricians say the malady is caused by early glandular development and is otherwise harmless. Some have determined it is caused by diet. Rarely, some were told it is the result of thyroid malfunctioning. Your son’s onion-smelling breath and body odor are probably not a sign of illness; however, to be on the safe side, take your son to his pediatrician for a complete exam and blood work. Perhaps a referral to an endocrinologist will be helpful. In the interim, try to manage the situation as best you can. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online.

Fans remember John Lennon 30 years after his death NEW YORK (AP) — John Lennon’s fans celebrated his life Wednesday by visiting Strawberry Fields, the Central Park garden dedicated in his honor, while a newly released interview he gave shortly before his death showed he was optimistic about his future. On the 30th anniversary of Lennon’s murder outside his Manhattan apartment building, admirers played his music nearby at Strawberry Fields and placed flowers on a mosaic named for his song “Imagine.” The steady stream of visitors represented the range of people who love Lennon, from those who watched his career unfold as it happened to those who know only his music. Father-daughter pair Paul DeLuca, 50, and Marissa DeLuca, 17, came from Boston to mark the day. “I grew up with his voice,” said Marissa DeLuca. “The Beatles are the soundtrack to my childhood,” she said. “His voice is just kind of like home.” Her father said, “Nothing is timeless like the stuff John and Paul (McCartney) wrote.”

In Liverpool, where Lennon was from, hundreds were expected to gather for a vigil Wednesday around the Peace and Harmony sculpture, recently unveiled by Lennon’s former wife, Cynthia, and their son Julian in Chavasse Park. In the newly released interview, conducted just three days before he was gunned down, John Lennon complained about his critics — saying they were just interested in “dead heroes” and mused that he had “plenty of time” to accomplish some of his life goals. The interview, believed to be his last print interview, was released Wednesday to The Associated Press by Rolling Stone magazine, which uses the full interview for a story that will be on stands Friday. While brief excerpts of Jonathan Cott’s interview were released for a 1980 Rolling Stone cover story days after Lennon’s death, this is the first time the entire interview has been published. “His words are totally joyous and vibrant and hopeful and subversive and fearless,” Cott told the AP on Tuesday. “He didn’t mince words.” Lennon saves some of his harshest

words for critics who were perennially disappointed with his music and life choices after he left the Beatles. “These critics with the illusions they’ve created about artists — it’s like idol worship,” he said. “They only like people when they’re on their way up ... I cannot be on the way up again. “What they want is dead heroes, like Sid Vicious and James Dean. I’m not interesting in being a dead (expletive) hero. ... So forget ‘em.” He also predicted that Bruce Springsteen, then hailed as rock’s bright future, would endure the same critical barbs: “And God help Bruce Springsteen when they decide he’s no longer God. ... They’ll turn on him, and I hope he survives it.” Lennon also talked about trying to be a good father to his youngest son, Sean, and learning how to relate to a child (he admitted he wasn’t good at play). He also spoke of his strong bond with wife Yoko Ono: “I’ve selected to work with ... only two people: Paul McCartney and Yoko Ono. ... That ain’t bad picking.” At 40, he was also reflective of what he had accomplished and remained

committed to his goal of peace and love on earth. “I’m not claiming divinity. I’ve never claimed purity of soul. I’ve never claimed to have the answers to life. I only put out songs and answer questions as honestly as I can ... But I still believe in peace, love and understanding.” That’s what makes Lennon’s music so relevant to so many people even after all these years, said David Thomas, 24, from Nyack, N.Y., who was braving the cold temperatures Wednesday to visit Strawberry Fields. “It’s so universal and simple, and it doesn’t need to be overthought to be understood,” he said. The magazine also included an essay by Ono recalling her final days with her husband. Ono released a statement Tuesday night in tribute to Lennon. “On this tragic anniversary please join me in remembering John with deep love and respect,” Ono said. “In his short lived life of 40 years, he has given so much to the world. The world was lucky to have known him. We still learn so much from him today. John, I love you!”

When too high, ruse rapidly BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate

Sun-tzu, who lived from approximately 544 B.C. to 496 B.C., said, “A military operation involves deception. Even though you are competent, appear to be incompetent. Though effective, appear to be ineffective.” That applies to this deal. How would you play in six spades after West leads the club queen? North’s four-club response was a splinter bid, showing at least four-card spade support, game-forcing values or better, and a singleton (or void) in clubs. You control-bid (cue-bid) four diamonds to express slam interest, North control-bid in return, you used Blackwood, then jumped to six spades. You seem to have two unavoidable heart losers. If only partner had had 5-3-4-1 distribution, things would have been simple. Is there any chance? Yes, if you can endplay an opponent. You should take the first trick with your club ace and immediately lead an “ineffective” heart to dummy’s ace. Then you draw trumps and cash the club king and three diamond winners (discarding

a heart) before exiting with a heart. West has to win with his king and must concede a ruff-and-sluff. You trump in the dummy and pitch your last heart. Note that because you needed West to misdefend, the quicker you put him on the spot, the better. If you had left hearts until after you had played the other three suits, he would have seen the endplay coming and thrown his king under dummy’s ace to defeat the contract. When you need a misdefense, go for it as quickly as possible.

Composer Zimmer gets star on Walk of Fame LOS ANGELES (AP) — Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer was honored Wednesday with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and he used the unveiling to remember his publicist, Ronni Chasen, who was slain in November. Zimmer told the crowd, which included “Inception” director Christopher Nolan, that he had known Chasen since he worked on the music for the 1989 movie “Driving Miss Daisy.” “She approached me about a star and I was against it until she convinced me that I deserved it and that my mother, who passed away a year ago, would have loved it,” he said. “I wish to dedicate my star to my mother and to my great friend

Ronni.” Chasen, 64, was fatally shot early Nov. 16 as she drove through Beverly Hills after attending the premiere of the movie “Burlesque” and a party. Zimmer’s many credits include “The Lion King,” “Batman Begins,” “Inception” and “How Do You Know,” a romantic comedy being released this month. Zimmer also thanked his family for putting up with his work. “I know it is no picnic,” he said. He also saluted his Hollywood collaborators. “I get to work with filmmakers and craftsmen. This star is a great honor not just for me but for all composers,” he said.

White House says trouble looms without tax-cut compromise WASHINGTON (AP) — Raising the direst alarm yet, the Obama administration warned fellow Democrats on Wednesday that if they defeat the big tax-cut compromise detested by many liberals they could jolt the entire nation back into recession. President Barack Obama appealed anew for Congress to “get this done” and insisted that more congressional Democrats would climb aboard as they studied details of the $900 billion year-end measure. Several did announce support on Wednesday, but at least one said there still was “a mood to resist.” One Democratic opponent, Rep. Barney Frank of Massachusetts, forecast a result that would abruptly reverse Congress’ voting pattern of the first two years of Obama’s term: “It will be passed by virtually all the Republicans and a minority of Democrats.” Larry Summers, Obama’s chief economic adviser, told reporters that if the measure isn’t passed soon, it will “materially increase the risk the economy would stall out and we would have a double-dip” recession. That put the White House in the unusual position of warning its own party’s lawmakers they could be to blame for calamitous con-

sequences if they go against the president. With many House and Senate Republicans signaling their approval of the tax cut plan, the White House’s comments were aimed mainly at House Democrats who feel Obama went too far in yielding to Republicans’ demands for continued income tax cuts and lower estate taxes for the wealthy. Obama says the compromise was necessary because Republicans were prepared to let everyone’s taxes rise and to block the extension of unemployment benefits for jobless Americans if they didn’t get much of what they wanted. Economists say the recent recession officially ended in June 2009. But with unemployment at 9.8 percent, millions remain out of work or fearful of losing ground economically, and the notion of the nation falling back into a recession would strike many as chilling. It also could rattle markets and investors. The deal Obama crafted with Senate Republican leaders would prevent the scheduled Dec. 31 expiration of all the Bush administration’s tax cuts enacted in 2001 and 2003, even though Obama had often promised to end the cuts for the highest earners.

Private company becomes first to return spacecraft from orbit CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA took a giant leap away from the spaceflight business Wednesday as a private company launched a spacecraft into orbit and for the first time guided it safely back to Earth, a feat previously achieved only by large national governments. The capsule built by Space Exploration Technologies Inc. splashed down into the Pacific Ocean, right on target, following a three-hour mission that should pave the way for an actual flight to the International Space Station next summer. NASA wants to enlist private companies to handle space station supply runs as well as astronaut rides after the shuttles stop flying next year. Until then, the space agency will have to continue paying tens of millions of dollars to the Russians for every American astronaut ferried back and forth. The Dragon flown Wednesday — nearly 17 feet tall and 12 feet in diameter — was reminiscent of the NASA capsules of old, which ended missions in the ocean.

House Democrats’ plan would freeze agencies’ budgets WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats controlling the House moved ahead on legislation that would freeze the budgets of most Cabinet departments and fund the war in Afghanistan for another year. The bill would cap the agencies’ operating budgets at $1.2 trillion, including $159 billion to prosecute the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. That’s the level of the recently finished budget year but a $46 billion cut of more than 3 percent from President Barack Obama’s request. The 423-page measure, opposed by Republicans, conservative Democrats and some anti-war lawmakers, only narrowly survived a 207-206 procedural vote. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., came to the floor to cast a rare tie-breaking vote. The budget-freeze bill wraps a dozen unfinished spending bills into a single measure.

Hackers launch online attacks to support WikiLeaks’ founder LONDON (AP) — Hackers rushed to the defense of WikiLeaks, launching attacks on MasterCard, Visa, Swedish prosecutors, a Swiss bank and others who have acted against the site and its jailed its founder. Internet “hacktivists” operating under the label “Operation Payback” claimed responsibility in a Twitter message for causing severe technological problems at the website for MasterCard, which pulled the plug on its relationship with WikiLeaks a day ago. MasterCard acknowledged “a service disruption” involving its Secure Code system for verifying online payments, but spokesman James Issokson said consumers

Later Wednesday, Visa’s website was inaccessible. The online attacks are part of a wave of support for WikiLeaks’ founder Julian Assange. Late Wednesday, Operation Payback itself appeared to run into problems, as many of its sites went down. It was unclear who was behind the counterattack.

GOP blocks effort to give seniors $250 instead of cost of living hike WASHINGTON (AP) — House and Senate Republicans thwarted Democratic efforts to award $250 checks to Social Security recipients facing a second consecutive year without a cost-of-living increase. President Barack Obama and Democrats have urged approval of the one-time payment, saying seniors barely getting by on their Social Security checks face undue hardships without the COLA increase. But most Republicans contended that the nation couldn’t afford the estimated $14 billion cost.

Teen arrested after spinach attack injures restaurant worker ROSEVILLE, Calif. (AP) — A 17-year-old boy has been arrested for what police initially described as a prank gone wrong at a California restaurant drive-through. Police say a 21-year-old worker at a Boston Market in Roseville suffered second-degree burns when someone threw a creamed spinach dish at his face Friday night. Roseville police Lt. Michael Doane says the attack appeared to be a prank known as “fire in the hole,” in which people video-record themselves throwing food or drinks into the faces of drive-through workers. The Sacramento Bee reported the teen turned himself in Wednesday. The worker, David Almas, was treated for serious face and neck burns.

Effort to repeal ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ falters in Senate WASHINGTON (AP) — A proposal by Senate Democrats to repeal the military’s 17-year-old ban on openly gay troops stalled Wednesday after a key Republican refused to sign on and Democrats feared a critical test vote would fail. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid continued to talk with Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine about how he could win her support, Reid spokesman Jim Manley said. Collins’ vote is considered critical to the monthslong effort by Democrats to repeal the 1993 law known as “don’t ask, don’t tell.” “We’re getting close, but negotiations are still ongoing,” Manley said. A provision that would overturn the law — contingent upon certification by the president and the Pentagon that doing so won’t hurt military effectiveness — is included in a broader defense policy bill.

Collins supports overturning the military ban but has sided with her GOP colleagues in objecting to the defense bill on procedural grounds. She wants more time devoted to debate and says the Senate should consider tax cuts first. “Without a fair process, the motion to proceed to the bill would likely fail in the U.S. Senate,” Collins said in a statement issued late Wednesday. Reid said Republicans were running out of excuses to block the bill. “Throwing up these artificial roadblocks is just foolishness,” he told reporters. Still, Reid’s decision to try to force a vote on repeal had been considered a gamble. If it failed, repeal would be considered dead for the year. The effort would then face an uphill battle come January when Republicans take control of the House and increase their numbers in the Senate. At least four Senate Republicans —

Collins, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Scott Brown of Massachusetts and John Ensign of Nevada — have said they think the law should be overturned. Conservative Democrats who were initially reluctant on the matter, including Sen. Mark Pryor of Arkansas, have also said they would vote to lift the ban now that a Pentagon study concluded it wouldn’t hurt military effectiveness. Advocates for repeal said privately they thought Wednesday’s vote was doomed to fail and expressed relief that more time would be devoted to negotiations. Publicly, they called on President Barack Obama to use his power to ensure the law is repealed by the end of the month. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said he was optimistic repeal would happen. “The president is hopeful, and encouraging Democrats and Republicans to get behind that repeal,” Gibbs said.

Falcons lose in overtime to Davie MOCKSVILLE — Keshun Sherrill’s 22foot jumper from the right 83 wing at the end of regulaDavie W. Rowan 78 tion rattled in and out. Had that shot stayed in, it would’ve meant an improbable victory for an undermanned West Rowan team that is still missing football heroes such as B.J. Sherrill and Domonique Noble. No doubt it seemed to Davie County coach Mike Absher that it was the only shot Sherrill missed. The junior guard poured in a career-high 36 points. “That shot felt good, but when you shoot as much as I did tonight, they all feel good,”

an upbeat Sherrill said. SHERRILL “That one just didn’t drop.” Unbeaten Davie survived the winless Falcons 83-78 in overtime on Wednesday in a remarkable game ultimately decided by strange circumstances. The War Eagles (5-0) got a career-best 33 points from high-flying Shannon Dillard, who obliterated West defenders who were too small or too inexperienced to handle him. Still, Sherrill was so spectacular, West (0-4) had every chance in the world to win. “I told Keshun he needed to shoot more, that he needed to be more Johnny Dawkins than Tommy Amaker,” said West coach Mike Gurley, referencing two Duke stal-

You may not know Corey Murphy’s Salisbury 75 name, but E. Rowan 50 that’s about to change. The Salisbury senior was here, there and everywhere Wednesday night as the Hornets toppled visiting East Rowan, 75-50. “Corey’s proven to me that he can be a good player,” firstyear coach Justin Morgan said after SHS improved to 2-0. “He was tonight. Maybe it had to do with all the hard work he did over the summer.” Murphy — a six-foot guard

with a keen shooting eye — had a career-high 24 points, including 11 in the fourth quarter when the Hornets cracked the game open. “The coaches told me to be more aggressive and leak out,” he said. “My job is to go to the goal and try to score within four seconds. They tell me to play fast and think

slow.” Morgan expects Murphy to receive a steady diet of playing time once Salisbury’s football players are added to the roster next week. “The way he’s played, he’ll be in there,” Morgan said. “It’s gonna be like tryouts all over again, but he’s proven he can be one of our important guys.” East (0-5) won’t argue with that. The Mustangs were paced by sophomore Josh Gobble, a forward who knocked down five threepointers and netted a teambest 17 points. But after a briskly played first quarter, Gobble and his teammates

FRIDAY NIGHT HEROES

BY MARK LONG Associated Press

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — With his wife and two of his three children sitting a few feet away, Urban Meyer didn’t have to look very far to be reminded why he’s leaving one of the premier jobs in college football. It’s all about family. Meyer resigned from Florida on Wednesday, stepping down for the second time in less than a year. His first atMEYER tempt, which lasted just a day, was for health reasons. This time it’s to be a better husband and father. “At the end of the day, I’m very convinced that you’re going to be judged on how you are as a husband and as a father and not on how many bowl games we won,” Meyer said at a campus news conference. “I’ve not seen my two girls play high school sports. They’re both very talented Division I-A volleyball players, so I missed those four years. I missed two already with one away at college. I can’t get that time back.” The 46-year-old coach led Florida to two national titles but briefly resigned last December, citing health concerns. He had been hospitalized with chest pains after the Gators lost to Alabama in last season’s Southeastern Conference championship game. “Last year was a knee-jerk reaction,” Meyer said. “This year was just completely different.” Meyer called Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley on Saturday to tell him he was contemplating retirement. They met Tuesday to finalize his intentions. Meyer signed a six-year, $24 million extension in 2009, meaning he’s walking away from about $20 million in guaranteed salary. But Foley did agree to pay Meyer a $1 million retention bonus the coach would have received had he been employed on Jan. 31, 2011. This time, Foley doesn’t anticipate another change of heart. “He’s worked his tail off,” Foley said. “You think of what he’s rebuilt. He built one at Bowling Green, he built one at Utah, he built one here. It’s not just sacrifices here the last six years. That’s 10 years of their lives, not to mention what he did before that as an assistant coach. It’s his time to step back and spend time with his family. You’re not getting it back. I admire him for that.”

Domonique Noble gets emotional during West Rowan’s win against Hibriten.

West Rowan

Good news, bad news for Adams Noble gives Falcons great flexibility BY RONNIE GALLAGHER rgallagher@salisburypost.com

There’s some good news and some bad news regarding Salisbury’s sophomore stud Keion Adams. The good news first. Adams made the touchdown catch that ignited the Salisbury Hornets’ 21-14 win against Shelby last week. After being stymied by the Golden Lion defense for most of KNOX the game, Adams hauled in a short pass from John Knox, weaved his way downfield following the blocking of wide receiver John Jarrett, and made it into the end zone. The Hornets scored two more fourth-quarter touchdowns and now face Northeastern in the 2AA championship game in WinstonSalem on Saturday night. Adams got the ball rolling while playing tight end, his third position of the season. Salisbury coach Joe Pinyan said the Hornets had called that bootleg play earlier, “but Keion wasn’t able to keep his balance.” Adams remembered the play had worked too, so when it was

called again with just under eight minutes left and Salisbury trailing 14-0, he was pumped. “I felt good about it,” Adams said. “I took off downfield.” He also saw Knox in trouble. “I ran to an open spot and John led me with a good pass,” ADAMS Adams said. “I got a good block from John Jarrett.” Sixty-two yards later, Adams was in the end zone, ending Salisbury’s offensive drought. Knox had a good feeling as soon as Adams made the catch. “I knew he’d take it all the way,” Knox said. “Everybody gave John Jarrett credit for the block to get in the end zone,” Pinyan said. “But watching the film, Keion did a heck of a job setting it up. He stayed behind John until John got in the right position.” • That Adams is playing tight end is a testament to what kind of teammate he is. Pinyan thought he had a solid fullback in the 6-2, 205-pounder. Then, he was moved to linebacker. He eventually went

MOUNT ULLA — West Rowan senior Domonique Noble sat quietly in the gym bleachers on Tuesday, with the Georgia Tech cap pulled low on his head offering the only clue to his secret identity. Noble was watching the Falcons play basketball without him, and they sorely missed the slashing, slamming talent that makes him the most impressive athlete in a school NOBLE full of them. Noble’s eyes were on hoops, but his mind was on football, a sport in which he’s been one of the best DBs in West history. He has two high school games left in his career — Saturday’s 3A championship game in Raleigh, a rematch with Eastern Alamance, and the Shrine Bowl on Dec. 18. The future Georgia Tech cornerback has turned in a phenomenal senior season, although his numbers haven’t always been eye-catching. “I really didn’t get the stats I wanted to this season,” said Noble, who nonetheless leads the county with six interceptions. “But it’s still all about helping the team. Each week, I’ve worked hard as I could in

practice, and then I’ve tried to do it right on Friday. I think each week I’ve made a pretty good impact on the game. I’ve always contributed.” Noble was a good corner as a sophomore and a great one as a junior. He has been asked to be much more than a cornerback as a senior. “I think it was important for him and for us that he committed early to Georgia Tech,” West defensive coordinator David Hunt said. “We haven’t had to showcase him just as a HUNT corner, and he’s been willing to do an awful lot of the dirty work for us. If he was worried about just looking good or if he was a prima donna, it would be different, but his priority has been doing whatever gives us the best chance to win. That’s made him a huge asset.” Noble, 6-foot-2, 185, possesses a unique blend of size and speed and has played three different positions in the secondary, depending on the matchup. “He’s given us flexibility,” West head coach Scott Young said. “We can change defensive gameplans week to week, and a lot of that is based on his abilities.

By the end of regulation, it MCDANIEL was 63-all. “It was a good defensive performance,” Davis said. “We dug in.” South outscored Robinson 24-17 in the fourth quarter beBrandon hind Sharpe. He had five points, including a SHARPE big 3-pointer. In overtime, Robinson (3-3) couldn’t stop McDaniel and Gaddy, who combined for nine of the 11 points. Davis also praised his school’s student section. The Raider Rowdies showed up and outnumbered the Robinson crowd. And South gave them something to cheer about all the way back to Landis. “We’re like the Cardiac Pack,” Davis chuckled. “Every game is tight and close.” • The Raider girls (3-3) were defeated by Robinson 70-28. Maria Gaddy led South with nine points. Chelsea McManus had six. It was 34-19 at halftime, but the third quarter did in the Raiders. They were outscored 17-1 and trailed 51-20 going into the fourth quarter. “We weren’t in bad position,” said South coach Jarrod Smith of his halftime deficit. “They lit it up in the third quarter. We just didn’t run our offense very well.”

Nose looks like ‘corn flakes’ Associated Press PITTSBURGH — Ben Roethlisberger is walking around with a large bandage on his broken nose and a protective boot on his painfully injured right foot. And, at least for a moment, a smile brought on by another wellknown Pittsburgh sports figure. “Mario Lemieux told me I finally look like a hockey player,” Roethlisberger said Wednesday, referring to the Penguins’ co-owner. The Steelers quarterback will wear a protective shield to protect a nose that so splintered while being smacked by the Ravens’ Haloti Ngata, x-rays revealed nose bones that “looked like corn flakes,” Roethlisberger said. “I was like, ‘Oh, that’s good,’ ” he said. Regardless, Roethlisberger practiced Wednesday as usual, and he plans to play in Sunday’s AFC North game against Cincinnati (2-10). Despite having his nose bent awkwardly during Pittsburgh’s initial series, he didn’t miss a play as the Steelers (9-3) beat the Ravens 13-10 on Sunday to take sole possession of the division lead with four games remaining. The quarterback has been told him he can do no further damage to his nose by playing. His nose also

was broken and needed surgical reconstruction following his 2006 motorcycle accident. But this injury wasn’t complicated by that rebuilding. “They said everything looked really good,” Roethlisberger said. “I did a CT scan before the surgery (Monday) and they said everything was still holding up really well and they were really pleased with that. ... The plates and everything in my face were fine, so that’s good.” Playing with a shield for the first time will take some adjustment, just as it does hockey players who choose to wear one after playing without it. “We’re going to get some practice, so we’ll see,” he said. “I saw the early forecast is rain, snow, so it’ll be fun, I’m sure.” Ngata wasn’t penalized for raking his hand across Roethlisberger’s face, but was fined $15,000 a day later for striking a defenseless player in the head. Roethlisberger had no comment about the fine, but teammate Hines Ward said he was glad someone other than Steelers linebacker James Harrison got fined for hitting a quarterback. Roethlisberger said he asked referee Terry McAuley why there was no penalty and was told, “He was just trying to tackle you.”

SPORTS DIGEST

Brat Albert Suspension shows Shanahan’s in charge Associated Press

ASHBURN, Va. — Mike Shanahan smiled, joked, looked positively giddy at times. He even allowed reporters to watch an entire Washington Redskins regular season practice for the first time, daring them to brave the 21-degree wind chill. It was hard to tell he has a team that’s 5-7 and out of the playoffs. That’s what happens when the weight of eight months of Albert Haynesworth drama is lifted from a coach’s shoulders. Shanahan on Wednesday discussed his decision to suspend the two-time All-Pro defensive tackle without pay for the rest of the season, a move that brought a sense of relief to Redskins Park that a longrunning soap opera of a distraction is finally over. “I was going to share the conversation Albert and I had, but since he wouldn’t talk to me I couldn’t share that conversation with you guys,” said

Shanahan, opening his postpractice remarks with a bit of dry humor. “So that was a little tough.” Inside, Haynesworth’s locker was cluttered as usual, with a towel, cleats and clothes. A shirt was draped over the front, obscuring the nameplate so all that was visible was “ORTH 92.” The team’s weekly schedule sat on the stool, a useless piece of paper for a player who won’t be around. For at least one more day, however, the player who wore No. 92 was the talk of the team, as he has been for countless days since the team begin offseason workouts in March. The battle of wills between Shanahan and Haynesworth got to the point where it was probably for the best that the two not share the same building, something that’s now assured for the final four games. “Albert probably don’t care,” cornerback Carlos Rogers said, pointing out the Redskins paid Haynesworth

He didn’t like first- and second-down nickel, wanted to play third-down nickel in passing situations. Hey, it was just time. It was just time to go in another direction.” The suspension, officially for “conduct detrimental to the club,” is the most emphatic statement yet that Shanahan is indisputably in charge in his first season with the

Thunder 111, T’wolves 103 MINNEAPOLIS — Kevin Durant scored 30 points, including 20 in the second half, and grabbed 11 rebounds as Oklahoma City came from 19 points down to beat Minnesota. Kevin Love posted his eighth straight doubledouble with 22 points and 21 rebounds for Minnesota, giving him five of the NBA’s 10 20-20 efforts this season.

Spurs 111, Warriors 94 SAN ANTONIO — Tony Parker had 19 points and nine assists, and San Antonio beat Golden State to set a franchise record for the best start to a season. DeJuan Blair added 15 points and 13 rebounds for the Spurs (18-3), who have won their last 25 games against the Warriors.

MEYER FROM 1C Foley said the coaching search will begin immediately and hopes to have a new coach before Christmas. Although Foley declined to offer names, Utah’s Kyle Whittingham, Mississippi State’s Dan Mullen and Arkansas’ Bobby Petrino are likely on the list. Meyer said he planned to be involved in the search, which could make Whittingham and Mullen front-runners. Whittingham was Meyer’s defensive coordinator in Utah, and Mullen held the same position under Meyer for four years at Florida. Petrino was Foley’s second choice behind Meyer in 2004. “I don’t see why it should take that long,” Foley said, adding that he has not contacted anyone. Meyer’s announcement caught players, fans and the rest of college football by surprise. He called assistant coaches, many of whom were on the road recruiting, earlier this week to relay the news. Quarter-

backs coach Scot Loeffler said he was “stunned” and no one saw this coming. “We’ll be fine,” said Loeffler, adding that Meyer was planning to meet with his staff Wednesday night. “It happens in this profession. We’re just happy for him. He’s doing it the right way.” AOL FanHouse first reported the resignation, and fellow coaches were quick to praise his efforts at Florida. “The world of college football will miss Urban,” said former USC coach Pete Carroll, who left his job for the NFL’s Seattle Seahawks. “He did a great job coaching at Florida. He had major personal issues and health issues a year ago, and I’m sure that he did everything he could to fight it off. Now he’s making decisions that are probably exactly what he needs to be doing.” Added former Florida coach and current South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier: “I believe he will coach again some day, but if he doesn’t, he will go down as one of the best coaches in college football history.” Meyer left open the possibility of returning to the sideline, but said it was not

coach can get when his history includes two Super Bowl titles with the Denver Broncos. “You’ve got to do it his way or you won’t be here,” special teams captain Lorenzo Alexander said. “He just suspended a guy that’s making $100 million and is probably the best at what he does, so what it’s to stop him from doing this to anybody else on the team?”

The college football notebook ... HOLLYWOOD, Fla. — Jim Harbaugh is sure Stanford fans will show up for the Orange Bowl. Even though the Cardinal are playing some 2,500 miles away from the home stadium they don’t always fill, Harbaugh is confident. “We sold 8,000 tickets in one morning after the announcement,” Harbaugh said. “That’s more tickets than we sold last year to the Sun Bowl. And that was only the first 12 hours. Our fans and alumni are really excited about this trip, so I think they’ll turn out for us.” No. 5 Stanford (11-1), who plays 12th-ranked Virginia Tech, has already received ticket requests from alumni located as far away as Moscow after one of the best seasons in school history.

Allen leads Celtics The NBA notebook ... BOSTON — Ray Allen scored 28 points Wednesday night as the Boston Celtics took advantage of an injury to Carmelo Anthony and won their eighth straight game, beating the Denver Nuggets 105-89. The loss left Nuggets coach George Karl stuck on 999 wins. His next chance to reach 1,000 comes Friday at Toronto. Anthony, the No. 10 scorer in the NBA this season at 22.8 points per game, was scratched just before tip-off because of inflammation in his right knee. It’s the third time in 11 home games this season that the Celtics have dodged an opponent’s star; Oklahoma City’s Kevin Durant and Washington’s John Wall also sat out in Boston.

He is appealing the suspension, which would cost him $847,000 in salary if upheld, but he no longer has to concern himself with fitting into a defense in which he was “a square peg into a round hole,” to use defensive coordinator Jim Haslett’s words from earlier in the season. Shanahan gave a more detailed play-by-play Wednesday, and it came to a stark conclusion: Haynesworth was impossible to please. “He didn’t like the 4-3 defense a year ago,” Shanahan said. “He didn’t like the base defense. He didn’t like the nickel defense. He didn’t want to play nose tackle, didn’t want to play defensive end (in the 3-4 defense). We got him playing the nickel package,

The decision to walk away was even tougher because of Florida’s struggles this season. The Gators were near the bottom the SEC in every offensive category, got blown out in games against Alabama, South Carolina and Florida State, and finished 7-5. It was the most losses in Meyer’s 10year coaching career. “I just think Florida deserves the best, and I’m not sure we gave them my best this year,” he said. Meyer was hired away from Utah by Florida after he led the Utes to an undefeated season. In his second season in Gainesville, he led the Gators’ to a national championship. Two seasons later he won another, the third time overall the school topped the final AP Top 25.

West quarterback B.J. Sherrill tries to quieten the crowd

PREP FOOTBALL: WEEK 16

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 9, 2010 • 5C

wayne hinshaw/SALISBURY POST

Darien Rankin (2) and John Knox (3) lead the Hornets onto the field against Shelby.

NOTEBOOK

Davie’s offense had 85 snaps. Porter Ridge had only 35. Davie rushed for a season-high 309 yards, with Jacob Barber posting his first 100-yard game and Stephon Smoot racking up his fifth.

FROM 4C in county history and for first place among quarterbacks. Sherrill has a county-record 30 TD passes this season. He has 65 in his career and is tied with Sturdivant for the county record.  Junior tailback Dinkin Miller is closing in on 2,000 rushing yards for his career. He has 1,909.  Receiver Jamarian Mabry dropped a TD pass on Friday but made up for it by grabbing the game-decider for a TD. In four playoff games, MABRY Mabry has 13 catches. He has scored seven TDs in West’s last six games.



UNDERDOGS: With a 5-6 BARBER record at the end of the regular season, Davie was roughly a 1,000-to-1 shot to win four playoff games and reach the 4A state championship game. Davie has won all four games as the underdog, and two of those upsets have been monumental shockers. Ken Massey’s computer rankings had the War Eagles as a 6-point underdog to North Davidson in the first round; an 18-point underdog to Mount Tabor in Round 2; a 1-point underdog at home against High Point Central in the third round, and a whopping 24point underdog to Porter Ridge in Indian Trail last Friday. Davie was a projected 31-7 loser to Porter Ridge, which had trailed just once all season before falling behind the War Eagles 14-0 in the first quarter.



HE’S OUR GUY: Young played at East Rowan and his achievements at West — he’s 134-37 in 13 seasons — were praised frequently during East’s recent reunion of its great teams from the late 1960s. East was 13-0 under W.A. Cline’s leadership in 1969. No one else went undefeated in the county until West did it in 2009. West is in position YOUNG to do it again this season if it can beat Eastern Alamance on Saturday. “It took 40 years for anyone else to go undefeated after we did it,” Cline said. “And Scott is one of ours.”

Against spread teams with a dangerous slot receiver, West has used Noble as a strong safety with man-toman responsibilities. Against teams that rely on the option, West has employed Noble as a run-smashing free safety, flying downhill and delivering big hits. “He’s probably been more physical as a senior, but it’s not like he’s ever been a Shrinking Violet,” Hunt said. “He’s laid the wood to some people, and we even use him on our kickoff teams.

West Rowan girls stay undefeated BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com

MOCKSVILLE — A 16-point West Rowan lead W. Rowan 56 had melted to when Davie 47 three, Tabitha Ball grabbed an offensive rebound with 1:41 remaining and put the ball in the hole to halt a potential collapse. If Davie County gets that ball instead of Ball, who knows? Probably it was the biggest play of the sophomore’s career, and it helped the Falcons hold off Davie 5647 and stay undefeated.

On paper, it was a mismatch, but West coach Erich Epps figured going in that his team would get all it wanted from the War Eagles (2-3). “I was afraid we’d start out sluggish because we’d played on Tuesday, and we did start slow,” he said. “We were also on the road, and I knew they’d shoot better than us. STEELE “Plus, Davie’s pretty good. Our BALL girls like to look at scores, but how Davie did against Carson or North West’s Ayana Avery scored 21. Iredell really didn’t matter. Every “I’d heard a lot about her,” new basketball game is different.” Davie coach Denny Key said. “I was Amy Steller scored 20 points, and impressed with her unselfishness.” the War Eagles shot 17-for-22 from Shay Steele had 16 points and 10 the foul line to stay in it. blocks for West (4-0). Nyceiko Dixon

SALISBURY BOYS FroM 1c were blanked in the second period. “At the beginning of the game, we made them match our intensity level,” said rookie coach Trey Ledbetter. “We were in the game. But in the second quarter our shots didn’t fall. We were looking to attack and taking good shots, but they were just so quick and tall.” No one played larger than 6-foot-7 Salisbury center Alex Weant. He finished with 13 points, 10 rebounds and at least three blocked shots. “We thought this was our game — and we were going to play it at our tempo,” he said. “But (East) forced us to play uncharacteristically. There was an intensity factor. If they were going to play at that level, we had to play a little better.” Salisbury scored the last 20 points of the first half and led 28-13 at the break. “At first,” Murphy said, “we weren’t feeding the post. We had two big men (Weant and 6-7 Tyler Petty) who were calling for everything, but weren’t getting the ball.” East didn’t score for nine-and-a-half minutes but that drought ended before the second half began. Weant was called for a technical foul for dunking during the halftime warmups and ER’s Ethan Curley was awarded two free throws. “I never actually touched the rim,” Weant reported afterward. “I was over the rim and dropped the ball through.” It hardly mattered. Salisbury went on a 10-3 run and opened a 43-24 lead when John Mark Petty hit a 12-foot jumper from the right side. Both teams rediscovered their shooting touch in the frantic final period. Murphy’s

Martin drilled three late 3s from long distance and nearly became a folk hero. “We’ve got young guys that have worked extremely hard to get better,” Sherrill said. “They may not even realize it yet how much better

last field goal came on a fastbreak layup and gave the Hornets a 60-37 edge with 5:20 to play. A minute later teammate Forest Wilkins buried a 3-ball from the left corner that provided a 28-point cushion. “For a while we played WEANT them hard and didn’t let them outrebound us,” said Gobble. “That’s what changed.” “They just attacked us,” Ledbetter added. When it was over, no one wore a more illuminous smile than Murphy. He talked about seeing limited action and starting four games last season, but added, “I barely played.” There was no off in Murphy’s off-season. He spent the summer playing AAU ball and endured a rigid weightlifting program. His reward came last night, when he was simply hard to ignore. “They know how hard I’ve work,” he said with a gesture toward the SHS dressing room. “I guess it’s my time to show them what I can do.” • NOTES: Salisbury’s Jarrett Rivens made the play of the game late in the second quarter when he stole an errant pass, raced downcourt and scored on an industrial-strength jam. ...

STORRS, Conn. — Kemba Walker, who came in leading the nation in scoring at over 29 points a game, had 21 points to lead four UConn players in double figures in a 78-54 win over Farleigh Dickinson. The Huskies, who beat top 10 teams Michigan State and Kentucky, have struggled at times against lesser opponents like Vermont and New Hampshire, but had no trouble with the Knights. No. 3 Pittsburgh 70, Delaware St. 42 PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh reserve Dante Taylor scored a career-high 14 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for his first career double-double. Pitt (10-0) has won 10 consecutive games to start the season for the seventh time in the past eight seasons. The Panthers have won 45 of their past 46 home games and are 82-1 against non-conference opponents at Petersen Events Center. No. 12 Villanova 65, Penn 53 PHILADELPHIA — Senior guard Corey Stokes scored a career-high 34 points, including seven in a key second-half stretch, for Villanova (8-1). Villanova went on a 9-2 run midway through the second half to extend a 40-34

lead to 49-36. Stokes scored seven of those points, including a 3pointer with 8:40 left to reach 1,000 for his career. No. 16 Illinois 74, Oakland 63 CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Demetri McCamey scored 29 points to lead Illinois’ comeback in a sloppy game whose first seven-plus minutes were played with an undersized women’s basketball. McCamey gave the Illini (9-1) their first lead of the game with less than 15 minutes to play, driving the lane for two on a finger roll and drawing a foul. The basket tied the game at 36 and the free throw put Illinois up by one. No. 18 BYU 86, Vermont 58 GLENS FALLS, N.Y. — Hometown hero Jimmer Fredette scored 26 points to lift BYU. A senior guard and AP preseason All-America who starred at Glens Falls High School, Fredette made his first three shots and led the Cougars in scoring for the eighth time in their nine victories to open the season for the Cougars (9-0). After playing 34 minutes Fredette left to an extended standing ovation, capping his return to this city of 14,000 which has embraced his career for the better part of a decade, including a close loss in the 2007 Class A

with two minutes left cut West’s lead to 50-47, but Ball made her stickback, and Steele blocked a 3-pointer and hit two free throws to seal it. “We hung in there, but we got beat by a good team,” Key said. “We played with them, but I’m not sure we believe yet that we can beat a team like that.

Hornet girls romp BY DAVID SHAW sports@salisburypost.com

It was another case for the defense Salisbury 68 Wednesday E. Rowan 28 night at Salisbury High School. The Hornets forced 11 first-quarter turnovers and swept past visiting East Rowan, 68-28. “That’s how we score the majority of our points,” senior Ashia Holmes said after Salisbury (4-1) gained its fourth straight win. “We really don’t have to run any plays. The defense takes care of everything.” It did against East (2-4), which trailed 10-0 before the midpoint of the opening quarter. The Mustangs finished with 29 turnovers and only 10 baskets. “We played Salisbury — and this is what happens,” said first-year East coach Danielle Porter. “Our girls aren’t used to playing the game that quick. You can’t simulate that in practice. But we were just over-matched by them.” Salisbury placed three scorers in double figures, led

Davie’s Nate Jones poured in 12 second-quarter points in less than three minutes, but Parks was equally DILLARD hot for West, and the Falcons took a surprising 43-36 lead to halftime. Tall, athletic Davie started to take over the game in the third quarter, piling up layups and free throws. “I love the way their big men pass to each other,” Gurley said. “They may be the Christmas tournament

West played well in the third quarter, and led 41-25 after Avery stole the ball and converted a layup, but Davie still wouldn’t die quietly. Steele picked up her fourth foul with 6:30 remaining, Avery was assessed a technical foul, and Davie suddenly was making a real charge. “We let some calls get to us, dropped our heads and pouted a little bit,” Epps said.

by Holmes’ 16 points. Her sister Ayanna added 10 and teammate Olivia Rankin — a transfer from East — contributed 10 points and six rebounds. “We’re trying to go back to basics,” said SHS coach Chris McNeil. “We want to increase our intensity and defense and share the ball on offense. We’re not a one-dimensional team.” Salisbury built a 21-7 firstquarter lead and watched it balloon to 41-9 when freshman Brielle Blaire hit a putback with 2:54 remaining in the first half. East used a late flurry — Jessica Rummage nailed a 3-pointer and Mallory Drew scored on an off-balance layup — to pull the Mustangs within 43-16 at halftime. But the SHS defense presented a convincing closing

favorite. They have all the pieces.” When Dillard scored inside with 4:42 left, Davie led 69-62 and appeared to be a sure winner, but it stopped making free throws. Sherrill hit an impossible double-pump scoop, Martin buried two 3s, and West seized a 72-71 lead on a pullup by Sherrill with 30 seconds left. Jones split two free throws with 18 seconds left to tie. Then Sherrill missed at the end of regulation. The pivotal moment in the overtime occurred with 32 seconds left. West called a timeout the official scorebook said it didn’t have. Davie led 79-78. Two technical free throws by Caleb Martin made

argument in the second half. It forced 13 more turnovers and parlayed several of them into runaway layups. “They had active hands and feet,” said ER senior Oliva Sabo. “And we weren’t throwing good passes. We’d throw these rainbow passes and they’d pick them off and score every time.” Rankin likened Salisbury’s defense to a swarm of sharks. “You always know that someone’s on your left and someone’s on your right,” she said. “Then we just spread out and get wide and attack. We like playing big.” McNeil is cool with that. “We’ve come to the understanding that defense wins championships,” he said. “That’s our goal — to get back to the states and win everything. So we’re working on the little things with the big things in mind.” EAST ROWAN (28) — Wike 8, Goins 4, Sabo 3, Poole 3, Rummage 3, Boling 3, Drew 2, Lowe 2, Fry, Honeycutt, Phillips, Sides.

Zeller leads UNC to win

Duke now 9-0 Dawkins has career-high for Devils

Associated Press

EVANSVILLE, Ind. — Tyler Zeller stuck to the script Wednesday 76 night. UNC He wanted Wednesday Evansville 49 night’s game to be a showcase for his hometown fans and a celebration for his North Carolina teammates. Things couldn’t have gone any better. The 7-foot center finished with 18 points, eight rebounds and two blocks, leading the Tar Heels to a 76-49 rout of Evansville in his first game back in southern Indiana. “It’s great that I was able to make it back because now I don’t have to get the grief from all my friends saying, ZELLER ‘Why did you have to go so far away, to Carolina?’” he said. His fans from Washington, Ind., should understand now. Zeller gave the Tar Heels (6-3) the inside presence they needed on offense and intimidated the smaller Purple Aces (3-4) on defense, too. And it seemed like the whole city of Washington was there to witness it. A radio station bought 600 tickets to the game and chartered a bus to make the 1-hour, 15-minute drive to Evansville. Zeller’s younger brother, Cody, another prized recruit, came to town on a bus with his high school teammates and was dressed in a powder blue Tshirt — even though he’s signed a national letter of intent with Indiana. And the pregame chants were so loud and the powder blue so prevalent in the crowd that, at times, it didn’t even seem like a road game for the Tar Heels, who won for only the second time this season outside of the Smith Center. “It was such a different atmosphere because so many fans came to see me,” Zeller said. “It took me a little while to get into it.” Eventually, after replacing the contact lens he lost in the game’s first minute, Zeller settled down and rounded into form. He finished 5 of 9 from the field and 8 of 10 from the freethrow line, adding a couple of nifty passes to open teammates and one steal. Zeller’s teammates took care of the rest. Justin Knox came off the bench to score 13 points, and the Tar Heels’ defense limited Evansville to just 3 of 20 shooting on 3-pointers. At times, Carolina made it look easier than either of the coaches — Roy Williams and Marty Simmons — expected. “I told Marty after the game that I’ve never seen a team that shoots that well shoot that poorly on their home floor,” Williams said. “I

Associated Press

DURHAM — Andre Dawkins scored a career-high 28 points in his 83 first start to help topDuke 48 ranked Duke beat Bradley Bradley 83-48 on Wednesday night, moving coach Mike Krzyzewski into sole possession of third place on the all-time wins list. The sophomore hit eight 3-pointers for the Blue Devils (9-0) in place of star freshman point guard Kyrie Irving, who is out indefinitely with a toe injury on his right foot. Kyle Singler added 17 points as Duke shook off a cold-shooting first half as it tried to adjust to playing without Irving before blowing the game open with a flurry of 3s after halftime. Afterward, Krzyzewski called Irving’s injury “a serious one” that is being evaluated by doctors both at Duke and nationally. He said the team hopes to learn more about his status in the next week to 10 days, though he said there was a possibility Irving might be lost for the season. “It is serious and whatever final decision is made, it’s going to be based on what’s in his best interests in his career, not to save him for any period of time or whatever,” Krzyzewski said. “But he could be out for a long time.” It was Krzyzewski’s 877th victory, moving him out of a tie with Kentucky’s Adolph Rupp and putting him just two behind North Carolina’s Dean Smith for second place behind Bobby Knight’s 902 wins. The Hall of Famer could tie his former longtime rival at home against Elon on Dec. 20, then pass Smith when the Blue Devils face UNC Greensboro on Dec. 29 in the Greensboro Coliseum. Walt Lemon Jr. scored 14 points for the Braves (4-5), who have lost five straight. Duke has won 19 straight games overall dating to last season’s run to both the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament title and Krzyzewski’s fourth NCAA championship. Irving sat on the bench wearing street clothes and a gray protective boot on his right foot. And while the Blue Devils ended up with another big-margin victory, they sure missed Irving’s baseline-to-baseline speed and ability to push the ball in transition to create easy shots early. Nolan Smith served as the primary ballhandler with Seth Curry backing him up, but Duke’s offense looked stagnant early while settling for 3-pointers — albeit open ones — against Bradley’s zone defense. Dawkins hit four 3s in the first half to make up for Irving’s lost scoring, but the rest of the Blue

Evansville is moving into a new downtown arena next season. But the Purple Aces certainly were not themselves. Colt Ryan, the sharp-shooting 3point specialist, was just 1 of 8 from beyond the arc and finished with nine points. The other big problem was turnovers. Evansville committed 23, North Carolina 12. “We just missed too many shots and, obviously, North Carolina is a better team than us,” said Simmons, who played on the Indiana team that beat Carolina and Michael Jordan in the 1984 NCAA Tournament. “They just outplayed us.” It started with Zeller. The Tar Heels used an early 10-0 run to take a 17-6 lead less than eight minutes into the game. Then Zeller scored six points in another 10-0 run that got the Washington contingent on its feet. “I don’t even know,” Zeller’s mother, Lorri, said when asked how many people were expected to come down. “It’s just a great opportunity for Tyler to play in front of his family and friends who have supported him for years. It’s really exciting.” By halftime, the Tar Heels had extended the lead to 46-27. When North Carolina went on a 16-0 run in the second half, it was all over — except for the postgame fun. “I sat down with (Zeller) in the summer and spring and told him it was time for him to step up. He’s done that,” Williams said before making a suggestion. “You know, if we have to play outside the Smith Center in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge next year and we play Indiana, maybe we could play the game in Washington — Indiana, not D.C.”

duke's Andre dawkins reacts near the end of the game against Bradley. Devils went 1 for 10 from behind the arc and the team shot just 39 percent to take a 32-18 halftime lead. Of course, everything looked better once those shots started falling after halftime. Duke put on a show by making 9 of its first 11 3s before cooling off in the final 7 minutes, though the margin had pushed well past 30 points by that time. Dawkins led the way, knocking down a 3 just 15 seconds into the half while surpassing his previous careerhigh of 20 points on — what else? — a 3 from right in front of Krzyzewski with about 8 minutes left. But he wasn’t alone. Duke had a run of five straight 3s — Curry and Singler each made two — that made it 56-27 with 12:43 left. The shots kept coming, with Singler following Dawkins’ career-setter with one of his own that made it 71-34 with 7:15 to go. Duke shot 62 percent after halftime, though Smith had just two points on 0-for-8 shooting — far below his team-leading 17.8point average.

Pacific disturbances will provide more wet weather activity across the Northwest on Thursday. An offshore low pressure system will maintain moist south to southwesterly flow across areas from the Pacific Northwest to central California, keeping mild and showery weather over the regions. By Thursday night, another storm system will bring more rain and snow to the area through Friday. Periods of heavy snowfall through the day will keep the Cascades under a Winter Storm Warning and Winter Weather Advisory. Snow accumulations of 1 to 3 feet are possible through Friday afternoon, with the heaviest amounts expected in the North Cascades. Further inland, a strong Pacific storm will move through the Northern Rockies with moderate to heavy snowfall and gusty winds. This combination of weather conditions will greatly impact travel conditions across the region, especially over the mountain passes, with snow covered roads, blowing and drifting snow, and reduced visibilities. A Winter Storm watch will remain over portions north-central Idaho and western Montana. Wintry precipitation will not be limited to the West on Thursday. An Alberta Clipper from southern Canada will move through the Upper Great Lakes Thursday evening, bringing light to moderate snow accumulations to the region and parts of the Upper Mississippi Valley. Areas near Grand Rapids, Michigan should expect about 2 to 4 inches of snow from this system. Meanwhile, lake effect snow will continue in the areas of Lower Great Lakes and Northeast downwind of the lake bodies. Finally, in the South, Hard Freeze Warnings and Freeze Warnings will remain in effect for southeast Alabama, southwest and south-central Georgia, the Florida Panhandle and Big Bend through the morning. Min. temperatures in these areas are expected to fall into the mid-20s by sunrise.

n its eighth season, Kannapolis based Piedmont Dance Theatre will again be presenting “The Nutcracker.” Choreographed by PDT Artistic Director Rebecca Massey Wiley, and featuring Tchaikovsky’s full score, this year’s production boasts an experienced cast and includes three guest artists. Erica Wesselman and Samuel Alan Chester of Carolina Ballet Theater will star as the Sugar Plum and Cavalier in the Salisbury performances. Last year, 7,500 people saw the performances, and many families attend every year as part of their holiday tradition. Our production changes every year,” Wiley says. “As our dancers improve, we are able to challenge them with new choreography throughout the show. This year we have changed the Toy Shoppe, the Battle Scene, the opening of Act Two, and updated roles for our younger dancers. Many of

last year’s Cherubs have a new role this year as Gumdrops.” Daniel Wiley returns this year as the Russian and will also star as Drosselmeyer. The party scene will have a new backdrop and Christmas tree, painted by Kathryn Prince. Children will have the chance to meet cast members and pose for photographs. This year’s production has a cast of 76 and includes dancers from Piedmont School of Music and Dance, ages 6 to 18. New to the role of the Nutcracker is Kemper Sink. A high school senior from Salisbury, Kemper will be beginning a trainee position at Ballet West in January, one of the premier professional ballet companies in the United States. Clara will be danced by Arzu Salman from Mooresville. Other student leads include Jessica Berry of Fort Mill, Rebecca Paul of Charlotte, Grace Puckett of Harrisburg and Morgan Wilson

of Waxhaw. The school draws students from around the region, and the cast also has dancers from Concord, Kannapolis, Statesville, Denver, Mt. Pleasant and Locust. Performed in two acts, “The Nutcracker” is one of the last of Tchaikovsky’s full-length ballets. It is based on E.T.A.Hoffman’s tale of The Nutcracker and The Mouse King and was first performed at the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, Russia in 1892. The French choreographer Marius Petipa worked closely with Tchaikovsky on the score. For PDT’s production, Wiley has created choreography which strengthens the story line. “I created Clara as a young girl who is beginning to daydream about love,” explains Wiley. “Drosselmeyer’s nephew is presented as the object of Clara’s interest. When she dreams, he becomes the Nutcracker Prince. The Prince
