Better enjoy the ‘warm’ weather

Family ties

Cold snap set to resume

Sunday schoolers share proceeds

BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com

Today’s temperatures are the warmest they’ve been all week, but keep your winter attire handy. Temperatures will be about 10 to 15 degrees higher today, but a cold blast will begin creeping back in Sunday, said Scott Krentz, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. Temperatures “are getting back to normal for this time of year,” he said. The normal high is 55 with a low of 36, but Krentz said Rowan County won’t see record warm temperatures . Today’s high is projected to be in the lower 50s. Lows tonight will be in the upper 30s, and then a cold front will come through the area on Sunday. “(Today) is going to feel pretty good,” Krentz said. “The warmest day is usually ahead of a (cold) front. “The front is going to be moving across the area during the day, so temps will still be a little bit warm and the

The Peeler-Wood Sunday School class of Wittenberg Lutheran Church made its first donation to Christmas Happiness about 20 years ago. This year, the Granite Quarry church’s Sunday School class donated $500 in honor of their Sunday School teachers. “We are a group of people who consider ourselves fortunate and Christmas is about giving of what we have to others,” said Judy Gould, a membr of the church. The church holds fundraisers throughout the year that raise the money for Christmas Happiness. The church has also had a barbecue sale for more than 30 years. They smoke the barbecue overnight and always hold the sale about a week before Christmas. This year’s sale is next Friday and it’s already sold out. “People put in their orders ahead of time. The bulk of the money comes from fundraisers,” Gould said of Christmas Happiness contributions. The Sunday School class tries to donate close to the same amount every year, she 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.

Teen hit with tragedies, friends rally to help BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com

ll Nick Holder wants to do is pay his respects to his mother, Tammy, who died in a car accident this summer. He’d like to visit her grave site in his home state of West Virginia, but isn’t sure how he’ll get there. If local business owner Cedric Cuthbertson has his way, Nick will be on the road to West Virginia in no time. Cuthbertson, who owns CAC Plumbing based in Mount Ulla, heard about Nick’s situation and has made it his goal to raise money to send the teen to West Virginia. It’s not the first time Cuthbertson has reached out to help someone in need or given back to the community that keeps him in business.

Up on rooftop, you’ll find more than St. Nick Police team up with firefighters to spend weekend on Krispy Kreme BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com

For the third year in a row, folks will brave the cold atop Salisbury’s Krispy Kreme to raise awareness — and they hope bring in many donations — for Rowan County’s Toys for Tots. Raul “Arbe” Arbalaez is the Rowan County Toys for Tots Foundation coordinator and his wife Ann is assistant coordinator. Every year, they team up with SalToday’s forecast 45º/38º Mostly cloudy

isbury Police Officer Mark Shue, who coordinates the Krispy Kreme event, as well as other members of the Salisbury Police Department and the Salisbury Fire Department. The fundraising and toy-gathering event started Friday and will last the entire weekend, with firefighters and police officers camping out on the roof of Krispy Kreme at 1428 West Innes Street until Sunday afternoon. Salisbury Mayor Susan Kluttz made the trip to the top of Krispy Kreme Friday afternoon and hung out for a while. “I am doing this because I was invited to,” Kluttz said. “It may have sort of started as a joke. I’m not sure.” Kluttz wanted to show her support for the fire and police department. “The sacrifice that they’re making to stay up here all weekend in the bitter cold I feel is just another exam-

Kluttz made a donation Friday to Toys for Tots and said every dollar counts in these tough economic times. “I just feel like during these difficult economic times, we can’t disappoint our children,” she said. “As a new grandmother, it breaks my heart to think of a child without a toy on Christmas.” Kluttz was a little nervous climbing the ladder to the roof, but she said the view was great. “I’ve done a lot of unusual things as mayor, and this is right up there with them,” she said. Although $450 had been raised by 5 p.m. Friday, Arbalaez said organizers have a long way to go to fulfill all

RALEIGH (AP) — John Edwards’ 2004 running mate will attend the funeral service for Elizabeth Edwards. A spokeswoman for John Kerry said Friday the Massachusetts senator plans to attend today’s ceremony. John Edwards was Kerry’s vice presidential candidate when the Democratic ticket lost to George W. Bush six years ago. A day after that election, Elizabeth Edwards learned she had breast cancer. Treatments eventually made Edwards cancer-free until it returned in an incurable form in 2007. She died of the disease Tuesday.

Kerry to attend Edwards funeral

Tammy Holder, 40, died after attending her daughter’s wedding in West Virginia. “She walked my sister down the aisle,” Nick said. Tammy left after the wedding and when she hadn’t returned two hours later, her family grew concerned. They learned she’d been in an accident. When the family arrived at the scene of the crash, Nick saw a jacket draped over the driver’s side window. Tammy was killed in the wreck. Two days before Nick’s mother died, his nephew passed away. In the same month three years ago his older brother died. Shortly after his mother’s death, Nick’s stepfather took his 6-year-old brother and left town. Nick still has little contact with his brother. Every now and then he gets “random phone calls from him,” Nick said with a smile. Doctors had diagnosed Tammy Holder with cancer before her death in the wreck, and she’d written a letter to each of her children. Nick still has his.

plans for his future. He’s looking for a job so he can help his grandmother pay his rent. “After graduation, I’m going to go to West Virginia to go to Marshall University to study criminal justice,” he said. Following college, Nick plans to move back to North Carolina, where he hopes to become a state trooper. For more information about how to help Nick Holder, contact Tracey Phillips at mamaomany@aol.com or call CAC Plumbing at 704-6334433.

Loss

Cuthbertson’s customers showered him with thanks, but he said he’s grateful to God for them. “I need to show my appreciation to them. I need to show my love,” Cuthbertson said. As for Nick, Cuthbertson said it’s simple: The teen needed help and he was happy to do it. “We want to help him. If we can use our business to get him help through Rowan County, all the better. We want to make sure he’s taken care of,” said Brown, the CAC office manager She said Nick should be concentrating on completing his senior year in high school, not worried about rent. All Nick and the Phillips family had to do Thursday was show up.

Nick has very little memory of that night. “It was later that same night,” Jerry said of when Nick could finally move his left side. Nick can walk now, but goes to a chiropractor every other day for spinal care and he must wear a neck brace. Doctors have told him he can never return to football, or any contact sport. “If he plays another contact sport, it could be permanent damage,” Jerry said.

Nick. “He’s the only family; this is our priority,” said CAC Plumbing Office Manager Danielle Brown. Cuthbertson hopes to let Nick know the community cares. Cuthbertson has reached out to his customers to help Nick make it to West Virginia. The businessman hosted his second annual customer appreciation dinner Thursday at the Salisbury Civic Center, where around 400 attended. Outlaw Barbecue catered the event and the families eat at no cost. Cuthbertson asked for a monetary donation, but gave Nick all that money. “It’s my way of giving back,” he said. Cuthbertson went around the room giving hugs to customers, many of whom he calls his own surrogate mamas and papas.

“I had a choice to go to West Virginia or stay here to finish my senior year,” Nick said. He chose Mocksville, where he grew up. It also meant he could stay closer to his surrogate family, the Phillipses. He lives about three minutes away from them in a studio apartment. “We are just a phone call away,” Jerry said. “He knows he can call anytime.” Jerry and his wife Tracey treat Nick like another son. “He’s an outstanding young man,” Jerry said. Nick’s teachers also check on him and make certain he gets his homework assignments. He tried to return to school shortly after his hospital stay. Since he can’t sit for long, though, he had to leave because of the pain. His maternal grandmother, Shonnet Holley, pays for an apartment and expenses. The Phillips family helps out with groceries and helps him get to his doctor appointments. “It’s hard. It makes you grow up quick,” Nick said. He says living on his own was fun at first and that having friends come over and hang out in his place was great. But the reality of paying bills, attending school and playing football all at the same time quickly set in. “It’s different,” he said. Nick’s goal is to be in West Virginia on his mother’s birthday, Dec. 21.

SALISBURY POST

MEXICO CITY (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The eccentric leader of the brutal La Familia drug cartel is believed to have been killed in a shootout during two days of fighting between federal police and gunmen, the government said Friday. The death of Nazario Moreno Gonzalez â&#x20AC;&#x201D; nicknamed â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Craziest Oneâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; would be a major blow to a drug cartel that burst into national prominence four years ago by rolling severed heads into a nightclub and declaring that its mission was to protect Michoacan state from rival gangs and petty criminals. Police have received information that the 40-year-old Gonzalez â&#x20AC;&#x201D; also known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;El Chayoâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Doctorâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was killed in a clash Thursday between cartel gunmen and federal police, said Alejandro Poire, the government spokesman for security issues. Five officers and three civilians â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including an 8-month-old baby and a teenage girl â&#x20AC;&#x201D; were also killed in the shootouts.

DENVER (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Colorado exterminator is suspected of earning the trust of his customers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and their dogs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of items and cash over the course of nearly 30 years. Charles Trogdon was arrested Nov. 1, days after one of his customers, who was hiding, said she saw Trogdon open a nightstand where money previously had been stolen. La Plata County sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s investigator Dan Patterson said other customers began calling and wondering if Trogdon was responsible for missing cash and items over the years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; everything from jewelry to a custom-made rifle. Patterson said many of Trogdonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s customers gave him their security codes or keys; a bag of 50 keys was found in his truck along with a box of dog bones. Authorities believe Trogdon returned to customersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; homes after spraying for bugs to take an item or, in the case of cash, partial amounts of what he found. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Never too much at a time though, just enough to keep people confused,â&#x20AC;? Patterson said.

DENVER (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Colorado sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s online database mistakenly revealed the identities of confidential drug informants and listed phone numbers, addresses and Social Security numbers of suspects, victims and others interviewed during criminal investigations, authorities said. The breach potentially affects some 200,000 people, and Mesa County sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deputies have been sifting through the database to determine who, if anyone, is in jeopardy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That in itself is probably the biggest concern we Foes of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; say have, because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal safety,â&#x20AC;?

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Elizabeth Smart waited more than eight years for the word she heard Friday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Guilty,â&#x20AC;? the court clerk said, after a federal jury deliberated five hours to convict street preacher Brian David Mitchell of snatching Smart from her bed, at knifepoint in the dead of night, and forcing sex on her while he held her captive for nine months. Smart smiled as the verdict was read, while a bedraggled, bearded Mitchell sat at the defense table, singing hymns with his hands before his chest, as if in prayer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope that not only is this an example that justice can be served in America, but that it is possible to move on after something terrible has happened,â&#x20AC;? Smart said, after she walked arm-in-arm with her mother through a crush of media. It was a dramatic end to a tale that captured the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention since she disappeared in June 2002: A 14year-old girl mysteriously taken from her home, the intense search and her eventual discovery walking Salt Lake Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s streets with her captors. Smart, now 23, flew back from her Mormon mission in Paris to take the stand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The beginning and the end of this story is attributable to a woman with extraordinary courage and extraordinary determination, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Elizabeth Smart,â&#x20AC;? federal prosecutor Carlie Christensen said outside the courthouse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She did it with candor and clarity and a truthfulness that I think moved all of us,â&#x20AC;? she said. Smart described in excruciating detail how she woke up one night to the feel of a cold, jagged knife at her throat and being whisked away by Mitchell to his camp in the foothills near the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Salt Lake City home. Within hours of the kidnapping, she testified, she was forced into a polygamous marriage with him. She was tethered to a metal cable and subjected to near-daily rapes while being forced to use alcohol and drugs. His lawyers did not dispute that he kidnapped Smart but wanted him to be found not guilty by reason of insanity.

The Mini funk factory drumline from Overton elementary School performs friday during a breakfast for the Rowan-Salisbury Schools’ faith-based partners. activities for our building. “For example, this year when we got ready to have cheerleading tryouts I had no where for them to go and they said have them here.” Pugh said the partnership with Trinity Lutheran has evolved over the past several years, with the reading buddies program expanding to include math. Isenberg Elementary Principal Nathan Currie said he is a big supporter of faithbased advocacy for what it did for him as a “poor kid in the eastern part of the state.” Currie said the church has helped mold him into the person he is today. Isenberg works with Faith Temple Triumphant Ministries and First United Methodist Church. Curries said about 60 volunteers come to the school daily to provide tutoring. “Words cannot express how much it means for us at Isenberg,” he said. Lea Anne Thomas, principal at Mt. Ulla Elementary, thanked Thyatira Presbyterian Church for providing tutoring for the past 13 years. “Every Tuesday and Thursday night they have retired teachers who work with our students,” she said.

Hanford-Dole Elementary Principal Shanda Mc- THOMAS Farlin said every Friday members of Milford Hills United Methodist Church bring food to the school, filling backpacks for students to take home for the weekend. “More than 90 percent of our students receive free or reduced lunch, we are a very high poverty school,” she said. “Our kids have a problem with basic needs such as food.” McFarlin said it’s been touching for her to see the community reach out. “It’s MCFARLIN nice to see people care for those who can’t care for themselves,” she said. “The kids really appreciate it.”

A carbon monoxide leak at Henderson Independent High School sent students and teachers outside on Friday. The school was evacuated about 3 p.m. after Salisbury firefighters detected dangerous levels of the odorless and colorless gas inside the school. “It looks like it’s because a carbon monoxide malfunction inside the boiler room,” Salisbury Battalion Chief Chris Lyerly said. Lyerly said the monoxide carbon leaked into the building rather than going out the chimney. Firefighters from stations No. 1, 3 and 4 used fans to air out the building.

Man accused of taking laptop from hospital A man in Salisbury was arrested over an allegation he took a laptop computer from a hospital where he used to work. According to the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office, investigators received word that a laptop, taken from a hospital in Phoenix, Ariz., had recently been used in Salisbury. The laptop has a tracking device, and it was detected when the user got online. It was tracked to 1255 Edgewood Court, where the user had visited several sites, including Facebook. The laptop, an IBM, also had the hospital’s logo engraved on the cover. When officers arrived at that address, they found the laptop and the former hospital employee — Mark Henderickson — who is accused of taking the computer after he resigned. Henderickson was charged with possession of stolen goods and was released on a written promise.

Two men were arrested Wednesday after reportedly trying to steal catalytic converters from a salvage yard. They were stopped after the salvage yard owner caught them in the act and pointed a gun at them. According to the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office, Mark Brown, who lives at 15620 N.C. 801, called authorities after he faced the robbers with a gun in his hand. Brown told authorities that as he left his home and turned onto 801, he saw a white SUV turn around and pull onto the side of the road near his property. Brown said he turned around and found a man dressed in black holding catalytic converters as another man waited in the SUV. Brown took his gun and said he confronted them. The men reportedly threw the converters out of their car and took off toward Mooresville. Brown got the license plate number and authorities charged the men Wednesday. Brandon John Broome, 20, of 148 Broome Farm Lane, Mooresville, and Ricky Dean Glover Jr., 21, of 134 Trent Rd., Statesville, were charged with felony larceny. Both were released on a written promise to appear in court.

The Rowan-Salisbury School System hosted a breakfast to thank its faith-based partners Friday. “This is the season of giving and it’s important that we recognize you for the gifts you give all year long,” Dr. Rebecca Smith, assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction, said. Smith thanked more than 60 local agencies for providing time, guidance, food, financial support and faith to the district. “The African proverb says ‘it takes a village to raise a child,’ ” she said. “That is certainly relevant in our economic time. “Your willingness to give, share and give of yourself to help our schools and to help our children is a blessing to those in our community.” Principals from various schools shared their experience with faith-based partners, after a performance by the Overton Elementary School drumline. Dr. Beverly Pugh, principal at Corriher-Lipe Middle, said Trinity Lutheran Church has literally opened its doors to her PUGH students. “The building has just become an extention of our campus, especially with the addition of the new family life center,” she said. “It’s now another place we can have

Cats OK after attic fire BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com

Two cats were the first thing on the minds of Gerald and Donna Dawson of 130 Gold Hill Drive when they saw a hole in their ceiling and fire in the attic. Gerald Dawson said he was in a front bedroom, and Donna in the living room, when he smelled smoke and called 911. Firefighters responded four minutes later and were able to quickly put out the flames. “I noticed a nice little hole, and sparks were dropping down from the ceiling down to the floor,” he said. “I could see flames in the attic.” The Dawsons rent the home where firefighters con-

Salisbury Fire Chief Bob Parnell said the Dawsons should be able to return home and have life back to normal today. He estimated damage to the attic and part of the ceiling at around $8,000. Responding were the Salisbury, Spencer and Granite Quarry fire departments, along with Rowan EMS. The cause of the fire is under investigation. Contact reporter Shelley Smith at 704-797-4246.

Students at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College will host a seminar titled “I Do, I Did, I’m Done: Five Ingredients to a Healthy Marriage,” at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Teaching Auditorium. “We are going to be discussing five topics that we believe are the most important topics in a marriage and how if you do not have them you are likely to get a divorce,” Allison Thomas, a student in the Sociology of Marriage and Family class said. The five topics include communication, emotional gratification, respect, trust

and physical attraction. “We will have three (student) speakers talking about how important these aspects are and providing some pointers on how to strengthen these,” Thomas said. Thomas said there will be a skit representing each topic to show how marriages can grow stronger or fall apart because of it. The event is free to the public.

Iman’s view, described in his letter, is that the outsized number of blacks being searched “is reflective of active policing in high-crime areas which happen to be in predominately African-American communities and is not based upon race.” Local NAACP president Jimmy Buxton said he is glad the city is seeking an independent review and wants to review more than 23,000 traffic stop reports dating to August 2009.

DARTS AND LAURELS

Dark days for chocolate? Should states have power to reject federal statutes?

Dart to some bitter news for chocolate lovers: The price of your indulgence is likely to go up soon. Cocoa prices have surged 9 percent this month because of political turmoil in Ivory Coast, the small, West African nation that is the world’s largest producer of the beans from which chocolate is made. Although those increases haven’t fully rippled through to the retail level yet, commodity experts say cocoa production trends will drive prices up, even if the political situation is soon resolved. Fewer farmers are growing cocoa trees because it’s time-consuming work with a meager payoff (in many cases, less than $1 a day). Growers can make more money with other crops. Meanwhile, along with the supply side uncertainty, demand for chocolate is rising, fueled by countries like China and India where more people can afford life’s little luxuries — or necessities, some might argue. How bad could the chocolate bite get? John Mason, executive director and founder of the Ghanabased Nature Conservation Research Council, has forecast that African cocoa shortages will have a profound effect: “In 20 years chocolate will be like caviar. It will become so rare and so expensive that the average Joe just won’t be able to afford it.” • • •

Laurels to a temporary respite from the cold snap ... at least until the next cold snap arrives Sunday night. To find out whether our recent frigid temperatures augur a particularly harsh winter, we checked in with noted forecaster Caleb Weatherbee. He predicts a colder than normal winter for much of the eastern United States, with a chance for “copious amounts of precipitation” along the Mid-Atlantic region. And just who, you’re probably wondering, is Caleb Weatherbee? He’s the “official forecaster” for the Farmers’ Almanac. In reality, the name is a pseudonym that, according to the Almanac, has been passed down through generations of prognosticators and “has been used to conceal the true identity of the men and women behind our predictions.” No offense to Caleb, but it sounds like the meteorological version of a witness protection program. • • •

Laurels to those who had a vision for Faithful Friends no-kill animal shelter and are now seeing that vision take shape on Grace Church Road. The shelter was conceived to help address a massive problem — the number of abandoned pets that are taken to the pound and, unfortunately, eventually euthanized. In a given year, about 5,000 animals are euthanized in Rowan County. Reducing those numbers will take continued efforts by groups like Faithful Friends, the Humane Society, rescue societies and others who care for abandoned pets and tirelessly spread the word about responsible pet ownership and the importance of spaying and neutering.

Common sense

BY JOEL MATHIS

hould the Constitution be amended to give the states veto power over the federal government? Some House Republicans think so. Backed by soon-to-be House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, they’ve introduced a proposed Constitutional amendment that would let two-thirds of the states join together to overturn any federal law they don’t like. Is such an amendment necessary? What would the Founders think of it? Joel Mathis and Ben Boychuk, the RedBlueAmerica columnists, debate the issue.

Joel Mathis: Don’t blur the lines The proposed amendment spits in the eye of the same Founders whom conservatives make such a show of revering. Before the Constitution, the United States was governed — if you can call it that — by the Articles of Confederation. Under that system, Congress functioned more like today’s United Nations Security Council, a fractious and paralyzed body that let each state act as a sort of sovereign nation with veto power over every act of the national government. It didn’t work. Letting the states have that much power made it impossible to get MATHIS anything done. The adoption of the Constitution didn’t just fix those shortcomings: Read The Federalist Papers and it’s clear the Founders believed the new system represented a decisive point when the multiple states decided they truly were a nation rather than a collection of small, weak, independent kingdoms. There was opposition to that vision. A group of men who called themselves the “Anti-Federalists” wanted to continue the old ways of state primacy and campaigned hard against the Constitution. They lost the argument, or so it seemed. The emergence of the proposed new amendment suggests that — for all their tri-corner hats and Gadsden flags — today’s Tea Party set has more in common with the Anti-Federalists who tried to stop the Constitution from becoming law than they do with the actual Founders. It’s funny, if you think about it. As a practical matter, giving states more federal power would also blur the lines between the two forms of government, making a real hash of things. Voting for state senators and governors and attorneys general might be determined by their stands on national — rather than local — issues. The proposed amendment doesn’t just repudiate the work of the Founders; it’s probably just a bad idea on its own merits.

LETTERS

Ben Boychuk: Limits are needed We cannot escape history, Abraham Lincoln famously said. Nor can we escape the ideas that have helped shape American history. And so if it seems as though the Tea Party movement is attempting to rehash 200year-old arguments, perhaps it’s because those arguments remain as relevant to our country as ever. And what those arguments come down to are, in a word, limits. Limits on what government can do. Limits on what government should do. Limits on politicians’ ambitions to govern without the consent of the governed. Few Americans in 2010 have read the Anti-Federalists, let alone know who they were or why they were important. That shouldn’t be read as a slap at the Tea ParBOYCHUK ty movement, or readers of this column for that matter. The writers, statesmen, and early activists who rallied to the Anti-Federalist cause opposed the Constitution of 1787 because they feared it would be used to centralize power, deny states their prerogatives to make laws as they saw fit, and deprive individuals of their rights. Superficially speaking, it may seem as though the Anti-Federalists had a point. Maybe it’s time to put Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison back on the shelf, and dust off the collected works of men who wrote under such pseudonyms as Cato, Brutus and the Federal Farmer. Not so fast. The truth is, where we are as a country today is far removed from what even Federalists like Hamilton, Madison and Jay imagined two centuries ago. Rather than rushing blindly toward some new version of “Anti-Federalism,” the Tea Party is recoiling from a century of Progressivism. Modern liberalism and progressivism has evolved quite a bit since the days of Woodrow Wilson and Teddy Roosevelt. But the fact remains their “vision” of government required an explicit rejection of the self-evident truths of the American founders. The progressive constitution is a “living constitution,” adapting to the whims of the time, unmoored from any principle. And progressive government is unlimited government. After all, how can we place limits on progress? Well, the Tea Party is saying “Enough!” And if their new standard-bearers in Congress sometimes sound like old Anti-Federalists, it’s probably because we’ve drifted so far from what the Federalists were for in the beginning. We need Hamilton, Madison and Jay more than ever. • • • Contact Ben Boychuk at bboychuk@heartland.org and Joel Mathis at joelmmathis@gmail.com.

(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)

To restore a sense of reality, I think Walt Disney should have a Hardluckland. — Jack Paar

Moderately confused

f you listen closely — not just with your ears, but with all your senses, and especially with your heart — a Christmas tree will tell you a story about the people who give it a home. But it won’t be told with words. Christmas trees speak in their own tongues with branches and needles, ornaments and lights, memories and hopes and dreams. It’s an uncommon lanSHARON guage, spoken RANDALL only at Christmas, but it’s not so hard to understand. Here’s an example. Standing in my sister-inlaw’s living room is one of the finest Christmas trees I’ve ever seen. Ceiling-tall, fragrant and green, it is perfectly shaped, and so full that Santa and all his elves could barely reach around it. But there it stands, no lights, no decorations, bare as the day it was cut. Why? Because my sister-in-law, bless her, has been spending all her time moving her aging parents to a facility nearby, where she can see them more often and make sure they will get all the help they need. Somehow my sister-in-law will get that tree decorated in time for Christmas, even if she has to stay up all night Christmas Eve. Until then, it stands waiting, telling a story of a daughter’s love that knows no bounds, that it is greater by far than her devotion to tradition, or even her own expectations. Here’s another example. The Christmas when I was 9, my family fell on hard times, even harder than our usual, and my mother announced that Santa would be arriving a bit late. “How late?” I asked. “Maybe by spring,” she said. My stepfather cut down a scraggly pine in the woods. We covered it with lights and strings of popcorn and chains of paper snowflakes that I made all by myself, though I let my brothers think they helped. I wish you could have seen it. We left it up long past New Year’s. It told a story I’ve never forgotten: Christmas is not an abundance of gifts; it’s the gift of an abundant heart. I recently had an e-mail from a reader we’ll call Karen. “Last year,” Karen wrote, “we spent all our hours at the hospital, because my husband had a malignant brain tumor. We ate cafeteria food on Christmas Day in a snowstorm. We went through radiation and chemo ... I say ‘we’ because it takes a family to get you through it.” This year, Karen said, her husband is in remission. He still needs a great deal of care, but they decided to get a puppy. “People think we’re nuts. They think I have enough to do. Well, yes, I do, but I still love the puppy and my husband!” I have no idea what Karen’s tree looks like this year. But I’ll bet its chewed lower limbs tell a story of salvation and hope. My daughter and her husband, who were married last spring, will have a tree that tells a story of a life just begun. My youngest and his wife, who welcomed their first child a few months ago, recently sent me a photo that’s almost identical to a memory I have cherished for more than 30 years: That of a baby, sitting on his daddy’s knee, watching him play “Silent Night” on the piano. In years to come, their trees will tell that story and countless others too precious to forget. I’ve known a lot of Christmas trees. Each told a different story. My husband and I put our tree up early this year: A tall, skinny, artificial pine. We swore we’d never have a fake Christmas tree. But we also never dreamed we’d live in a desert where freshly cut trees last three days, if you’re lucky. And we were never lucky. But much to my surprise, I am finding I like this fake tree and the true story it tells me: Never say never, anything is possible. Especially at Christmas. What story will your tree tell? • • • Contact Sharon Randall at www.sharonrandall.com.

Thanks to those who gave kittens a chance to live My friend, Valinda Isenhower, found three baby kittens in a mesh bag Monday when the temperatures were freezing. She spent the day trying to find a facility to take the sweet kitty cats; they all appeared to be cared for as far as food and affection. Finally, after many phone calls, the Animal Care Clinic of Salisbury agreed to take them after she paid for tests to ensure that they could not infect other animals in the clinic. Today and every day, I am grateful to persons who bring hope to those animals who rely on us to care for them but who give us so much joy with their unconditional love. Thanks to Valinda and Todd Steinman for giving these animals a chance to live and through their adoption a happy home. They can be seen at the Animal Care Clinic, and I understand all are sweet, loving and will steal your heart immediately. — Julie Pinkston Salisbury

Rowan County Toys for Tots coordinator arbe arbalaez checks on toys donated Friday.

TOYS FROM 1a of the requests. “Last year, this weekend was very big, but this time last year we were so ahead of the game,” he said. Traffic was slow, Friday, he said, but he hoped it would pick up today. As of Thursday night, Arbalaez already had 1,000 children signed up to receive toys. “The scary part is we’re probably surpassing the amount of kids we did last year by a large margin,” he said. “It’s a very, very rough time for families, but it’s also a rough time for us because donations are low.” Shue said the team that will take to the doughnut shop roof over the weekend — which also includes Arbalaez, Police Officer Rebecca Sexton, firefighter Chipper Thomas and fire and police explorers — are, along with Krispy Kreme, just facilitating the fundraiser. “These folks that are on the receiving end are very humble and very thankful to be able to get this, and it all happens because of the community stepping up and making this happen,” he said. Shue — born on Christmas Eve and a self-described “Christmas person” — said he got a “Christmas rush” when he and the others began climbing onto the roof three years ago. And last year was even better as he helped Arbalaez deliver the toys. “The look on the parent’s face when we knock on the door with a big bag of toys is undescribable,” he said. “That’s my Christmas.” With 3,500 toys collected so far, Toys for Tots still needs a lot of help this Christmas season. They will be hanging out at Krispy Kreme all day Saturday and until 3 p.m. on Sunday collecting donations and new, unwrapped toys for children up to the age of 13.

Other events today to benefit Toys for Tots include: • Wrestling by Classic Championship Wrestling, 8 tonight, Salisbury National Guard Armory, 495 National Guard Road. The cost is $10 per person or $5 with a new, unwrapped toy. Children ages 5 and younger get in free. The main event is Sweet Dreamz vs. Wildman Wolf. Other matches are Hot Boy Jason Morton vs. Rufneck and Cruel Connection 1 and 2 vs. Dixie Express. For more information, call 704-738-3399. • China Grove Police Toy Drive. For more information, contact Officer Nina Stillwell at 704-857-7755. • Castaways, 119 N. Link Ave., will host a poker run today. The run begins at noon and will end with a chili cook-off at the Carriage Room, 2141 Statesville Blvd. All proceeds benefit Toys for Tots. Organizers will also accept new, unwrapped toys. In addition to today’s events, Woodleaf Lanes, 1811 W. Jake Alexander Blvd., is looking to form 24 five-member teams with part of the proceeds to go to Toys for Tots. The cost to participate is $15 per person per month, which covers two games, $5 of that amount goes to Toys for Tots. The teams will play one Monday a month and on the fifth Monday of any month. The cost is $10 for the night plus a new, unwrapped toy. The teams will bowl from January to November. For more information about forming a team or league, call Woodleaf Lanes at 704-633-5342.

homes “would be smart” to leave water dripping. Deana Jordan, office manager at Roto-Rooter, suggests insulating pipes with pipewrap insulation, which can be purchased at hardware stores. Those with wells can use a light to keep them from freezing. Goodnight said plugging in a small flood light or lighting the well house with a regular incandescent light bulb will do the trick.

Letting water trickle from faucet can also help prevent pipes from freezing. Goodnight said it’s not going to make that much of difference in a well-insulated home, but people with colder

SALISBURY POST

Thoughts on the virgin birth Christians must be open to mystery: ‘Don’t give up on a concept because you don’t understand it’ ith Christmas fast approaching and soon to be here, what follows is my own understanding of a concept many Christians will encounter at this time. Growing up in a Methodist family and spending summers at Lake Junaluska, the Methodist Assembly grounds in western North Carolina, I was exposed to the teachings of the church. Around 15 years of age I WILLIAM was having an especialRAGSDALE ly difficult time struggling with how to rationally believe in the virgin birth. It was a concept I could not figure out. My family suggested I talk with Dr. Mason Crumb, who taught religion at Duke University and lived just a block from my grandfather’s home at the lake. After I presented the problem to Dr. Crumb, he offered a few words and finally said, “Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water.” In other words, don’t give up on a concept simply because you do not understand it. These days I have come to believe in the virgin birth because I have experienced it myself many times in my own life. Each time it has happened with varying degrees of intensity as I grow and learn one day at a time what it means to be Christian Protestant clergy have much to learn from our Catholic and Orthodox brothers and sisters; mystery is interwoven into their faith and belief. Several times I have worshipped in Orthodox churches where there is incense, chanting, icons surrounding me, and I experience the awe and presence of the eternal in the midst of this world. Mystery surrounds our Christian faith. In The Baltimore Catechism used by Catholics, the word “mystery” appears quite often. Indeed, at one point it states: “A supernatural mystery is a truth which we cannot fully understand, but which we firmly believe because we have God’s word for it” (Lesson Number 3, item 34). It means I don’t have to understand everything in order to believe it. It is sort of like driving a car. I don’t have to understand what makes it work in order to drive it. In a similar way, I don’t have to know and understand how a computer works in order to use one. These days, I believe in the virgin birth of Jesus because I have experienced it in my own life. It is quite close and similar to being “born again” from above, as told in John 3 in the story of Jesus and Nichodemus. Don’t ask me to explain how it is to be understood. It happens in my heart and soul. It is a matter of faith, a matter of belief. It is

live nativity scenes prompt Christians to consider their beliefs.

Meister Eckhart put it in a question this way: “What good is it that Christ was born 2,000 years ago if he is not born now in your heart ?” not something that can be rationally explained. Many times in my life I have experienced being born again as my personal world has been enlarged and I have grown a bit more in being Christian. Each time it happens, I find myself learning some new truth about my life and the lives of others. It happens when I stop behaving one way and start behaving in another, as in being more positive and not quite so negative. Today I find myself needing to be attentive to where God is active in life around me and where he would have me lay down my life for others. Every time I go to sleep at night I die to the day and am born again into a new day the next morning. Being born again happens over and over in life as I continue to learn and grow. It is a matter of faith

and happens in my heart. Meister Eckhart put it in a question this way: “What good is it that Christ was born 2,000 years ago if he is not born now in your heart?” So a few years ago I wrote a poem which expresses this. It is about my response to the love of God in Christ for me.

Have A Virgin Birth Have a virgin birth yourself This Christmas Let baby Jesus be born afresh In your heart. Quit looking around you At the ills of other souls. Stop blaming others for the Misery you have brought upon Yourself. Talk to your heavenly Father About this. And have a virgin birth in Your own heart this Christmas. • • • The Rev.

Valuing the gift of time O

ne of the greatest lessons that my job affords me every day is the reminder of how precious time and relationships are in life. Surrounded by stories of life, death and relationships, I am reminded they are gifts from God. My two kids will be the first to tell you, I like to be on time. Whether it is getting to work, church, school or even leaving for a vacation. “It’s time to go!!” We have all JAMES heard the expression, “The older I COOK get, the quicker time flies.” The clock is running. We live by the clock. There is no going back; no roll over minutes. We attempt to get the most out of every day. We have also been told that time is money. That is just simply not true. While it may be difficult to make more money, it is possible; however, you cannot make more time. Time is much more valuable than money. Although you can’t save it, you can spend it and you can invest it. Think about how you are spending your time and where you are investing it. If you want to know how important time is, ask someone who is in the middle of a heart attack at the grocery store and a nurse happens to be on the same aisle and performs CPR. Have you ever had to slam on your brakes to miss a child, another car or a deer? Milliseconds matter. I have attended time management classes. We expect to manage our time better with gadgets we believe will do just that, for example: PDA (blackberries), watches, cell phones, drive-throughs, microwaves, ATMs and PCs. But where do we spend all this extra time made possible by technology and innovation? Sure, we have to eat, sleep, work (for those fortunate to have a job), take care of our families, maintain our homes and personal health, but we also spend time watching TV, playing games, traveling, attending sports events, vacationing, reading and participating in numerous other activities that add enjoyment to our lives. For many, that list includes church and supporting church-related activities. But ask yourself this question: “How much quality time do I actually spend with my family?” Research shows that we spend less than 30 minutes in a 24-hour period. On average, we spend about 11 minutes a day oneon-one with our kids. That time is precious, and fleeting. We need to learn to say “No” to those things that keep us from our family time. Remember the song, “The Cat’s in the Cradle?” We are a society that feeds on instant gratification — always in a hurry, running late and fatigued. Time management — we should change that to “Life Management.” Leonard Sweet stated, “The real meaning of life is not a journey question or an arrival question. It is a relationship question. Your journey and your destination are important, but neither is possible without an answer to this question: Who are you taking with you on the journey toward your destination?” What memories will those you leave behind cherish of your time spent together? Stephen Covey says in his book “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People,” “We cannot manage time, but we can manage ourselves. You can’t speed it up, save it or lose it.” Jesus never seemed to be in a hurry. I realize that Jesus was not bound by time or space, but a living example of how important and precious time is in our lives. Every moment is a gift from God that must be managed wisely. Jesus took time to pray and be by himself. How much time are you taking in your relationship with God? Jesus took time with God, family and friends, building relationships and teaching others. We have to spend time in relationships. Our relationship with God in prayer, worship and meditation impacts the way we spend the rest of our time. Deep and abiding relationships are investments and take time. Time is a commodity few of us are prepared to sacrifice. Ask yourself, “Where am I spending my gift of time?” The Rev. James Cook is chaplain at Rowan Regional Medical Center.

World Hope Worship Centern 2203 Mooresville Road, presents a Christmas musical, “Christmas Fills the Air,” today at 6 p.m. (doors open at 5:30 p.m.) and Sunday morning at 10:30 a.m. (doors open at 10). The full-stage set includes a coffee shop, gift shop, toy store, theater and even a Cheerwine wall. The musical features familiar carols, including “Joy to the World,” “Hark the Herald Angels Sing,”along with more secular tunes: “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas,” “The Christmas Song (Chestnuts)” and the ever-popular “Toys.” The story line features two men who are enduring a shopping trip with their families. They find themselves on a mall bench together, discussing their lives — and sharing their fears. Songs are woven throughout that speak to those fears and reveal answers. The choirs and cast is madeup of children, youth and adults, with more than 50 voices.

Generosity: the spirit and soul of a father would have to give his father old bread to crumble into a bucket, just so his father would feel he was doing his part. Crumbling bread was all that his father could now do that he felt was helping his beloved son. Of course, the bread was thrown away, but the sense of satisfaction that provided allowed him to continue. The father, to the very last, showed his wonderful nature in wanting to provide all that he possibly could for his children before taking anything for his own sustenance. Isn’t that just the way it is with OUR heavenly father? He gave us his all, gave us his wonderful life, so that WE, too, may live, and live life to the fullest. He willingly died of himself so that we may have the gift of life forever. In this season of joy, peace, and love, remember that love conquers all, is not prideful nor boastful, nor seeks any reward. Love endures to the end. Love, just simply, is.

so...But, when you have children, that's a different matter. You die to yourself so that your children may live to blossom. What you desire to do, you no longer will do, for you will give up your life willingly so that your children will have what they need in their life.” And so, he did. Nick came to this country as young man, successfully making his way in business, and if I mentioned some of the local businesses he founded, you'd know him immediately. He raised himself a wonderful family, always followed his father's example of living for others before himself. In later years, Nick's father joined him in this country, and helped his son in the family business, never taking any pay for his efforts, he refused to eat until he had helped his son with everything that he could possibly do for him. To the very last, as his memory started to fail, the loving father always insisted on being productive, and would not eat unless he had first worked for his child. In his last days, the son

FURR Before a minute passed, he had pulled up a chair and began to share his life. Born in another country, raised in a totally different culture, his unfolding story was mesmerizing. One part of his recounting, that of his father and his father's influence, comes to mind now...touchingly. He said “Father always told us, that when you are young, you live for yourself.

Nebraska bell ringer passes 2,4000 hours Volunteer hours are equivalent of one year of full-time work COLUMBUS, Neb. (AP) — Don Schneider’s presence behind the Salvation Army Bell at the Columbus Walmart has become as much a tradition in the past six years as the Kettle Campaign itself. Schneider recently reached his personal goal of 2,400 volunteer hours for the Salvation Army. Schneider says 2,080 hours of that total or the equivalent of one year of full-time work has been spent on the bell ringing “Kettle Campaign.” “I grew up with the Salvation Army,” Schneider said. “I had relatives who were officers in the Salvation Army and others in my family who served in various ways with the Salvation Army. “It's been a big part of my life and volunteering since my retirement has been my way of giving back.” Kettle Campaign Coordinator Charlene Wilson said Schneider’s dedication to the Salvation is unparalleled. “Don’s dedication is amazing,” Wilson said. "Every year he's out in the cold and snow ringing his bell. He's very good at getting his hours in. I've never seen anyone so dedicated to his goal. He's an amazing person." Wilson has served as store manager for the Salvation Army thrift store for the past seven years, the Kettle Campaign Coordinator since 2007 and the organization’s local social service manager. Schneider works the bell at Walmart 12 hours a day six days a week during the campaign, which this year began Nov. 12 and will run until 4 p.m. Dec. 24 “Don is a faithful man, a very helpful man,” said Lt. Xaiver Montenegro. “I think it’s great that he would choose to express his gratitude to in this way for his long connection to the Salvation Army.” Montenegro oversees the Salvation Army operations in Columbus and Norfolk. The Salvation Army is a Christian-based organization that offers several services locally and worldwide including disaster relief, thrift shops, youth groups, charity and drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers.

years opened my eyes to what really matters in life. My motto now is, “Don’t sweat the small stuff” and look for the good in every day you have left. Each day I do my best to see the good in people. Like yesterday, when I was a penny short at the Dollar Tree, a man could not whisk his penny out fast enough to help me. He also made sure to hold the door for me while I left and I gave him a very heartfelt thank you. Later that day, as I was walking through the parking lot of Harris Teeter, I realized that someone had left a grocery cart in a handicapped parking space. I saw at least three people walk right by that cart with no thought as to how a handicapped person would be unable to park there. I thought nothing of taking the cart into the store and making good use of it. While I was shopping, I came across a lady in a scooter who could not reach the top shelf. I was more than happy to help her with her selection. These may seem like such small, insignificant things, but they illustrate the small gestures which helped me so much through my long recovery. Now is the time to be grateful for your family, to cast old wounds aside and give the same forgiveness

that you would like to receive. If you are a child, be happy that your parents still love you despite the stuff you pulled on them and be grateful they are still in your life. If you are a parent, love your children with every ounce of your being, because in the blink of an eye, one drunk on a road can take that precious life away in a second, with no chance to say goodbye. If your child’s political or social views are not the same as yours, rejoice that your child has learned independence and determination. If you are lucky enough to have grandchildren, know that you have really hit the jackpot and that you did something right in raising your own children. It goes without saying that loving grandchildren is a true blessing in our lives. This year, I cannot celebrate this holiday with my son, his wife and my grandsons. I remain grateful for the times that I was there to be with them. No one can take away my wonderful memories and if God continues to be good to me, I will be able to make more beautiful memories in the future. May all of you have a wonderful, family Christmas. Jennifer Doering lives in Salisbury.

hank Heaven it’s over, the election, that is! Now is the time to forget the cacophony, the nitpicking, the endless political e-mails that crowded my inbox, along with the overzealous incantations of peoples’ dissatisfaction with our government and the world as a whole. For now it is time for Christmas, JENNIFER and the DOERING “naysayers” should quiet their voices. This is the time to think of what we can do for others, rather than what can be done for us. What can we rejoice in this year? For starters, I take great joy in the knowledge that my husband, Don, right now is preparing our evening dinner while I try to put some sense into this story. I can be grateful that even though the both of us are suffering the aches and pains of growing old, we are still alive to question the statement saying that we are experiencing our golden years. I’m grateful that we still have a roof over our heads and there is money in the bank for a rainy day – as long as we don’t experience a remake of The Great Flood! I am also grateful that even though my left leg is half of what it used to be, due to the amazing world of prosthetics, I am still able to walk. Being sick for two

Saturday, Dec. 11 Circumstances that might not be visible to others could develop for you in the near future, giving you ample opportunity to make your mark in the world. What transpires might remain a mystery to everybody else. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Success comes to you from being able to discern the differences between constructive suggestions and criticism. Do not to take offense at what is meant as a helpful comment. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Make sure the person who is closest to your heart gets the lion’s share of the attention. You can easily provide it while still being nice and friendly to everybody else. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — What makes material gains more pleasant than usual is your willingness to share the fruits of the labor with those who pitched in, even with cohorts who didn’t contribute as much as you. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — It’s the season of gift-giving, so why not use a tangible token to express your affection for someone you love. It doesn’t have to be anything expensive, just meaningful. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — This could be one of your better days, when people for whom you’ve done nice things will be doing something delightful for you. You might think you’ll have made out better than you gave. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Let someone else handle the funds when enmeshed in a joint involvement. It’ll free you up from having to worry about whether or not everyone anted up. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Because of your ability to see roses where others only see thorns, it is highly probable that you’ll be able to capitalize on some opportunities that most would dismiss as duds. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Patience and consistency are what bring you success, but you might have to be patient regarding when things will come together. Victory might take a second or even third effort. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — In order to gratify your personal ambitions, you might need to be consistent and persistent, and give yourself plenty of time to succeed. Conduct yourself in a manner that others would think of as attractive. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — It might be wise to let your associate be the dominant force in a partnership, especially if this person knows how to be assertive without looking too aggressive or forceful. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — A pleasant surprise is in store when you discover a development that you anticipated as being bad isn’t anything like you thought it would be. Don’t dwell on negatives. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — It behooves you not to get involved in any moneymaking arrangements that have extremely chancy elements. You’ll find huge rewards in activities of a fun nature instead of work-related toil.

Surgery may be best for teen with Crohn’s Give up one to gain two those with severe Crohn’s, may also experience inflammation of the liver or bile ducts, arthritis, fever, fatigue, skin disorders and eye inflammation. Children may experience delayed growth or sexual development. Complications include bowel obstruction, malnutrition, anal fissures, ulcers, fistulas (an abnormal connection between different parts of the intestine) and more. There is also an increased risk of colon cancer; however, the vast majority (more than 90 percent) of sufferers never develop it. There are several types of treatment available. The first type is anti-inflammatory drugs, such as the Apriso (mesalamine) that your grandson is on, as well as azulfidine and corticosteroids. Immune-system suppressors are also used. Your grandson was placed on at least one of these, Humira (adalimumab). There are several others in this category. Antibiotics, which may be helpful in treating some of the complications, such as ulcers, abscesses and fistulas, may also be beneficial for those without complications, as many researchers believe that antibiotics will reduce levels of harmful bacteria within the intestine, as well as suppress its immune system. Commonly used medications include pain relievers, antidiarrheals, iron supplements, laxatives, vitamin B12 injections, calcium and vitamin D, and/or special diets, such as nutrients introduced directly into the veins, which can bypass the stomach and intestine, thus reversing malnutrition. Finally, surgery. If diet, lifestyle changes, medication and other treatment fail to relieve symptoms, surgery to remove a damaged portion, close fistulas or remove scar tissue may be recommended. Unfortunately, at best, surgery can provide years of remission, but it will be temporary. Nearly three-quarters of patients who undergo surgery will experience recurrence, with approximately half of them requiring a second procedure or more. Even if signs

and symptoms improve, medication is often prescribed following surgery in an attempt to reduce the risk of recurrence. I suggest your grandson try some of the following lifestyle and home remedies and at least meet with a surgeon to discuss his situation. He is clearly suffering, and if medications have not worked for him thus far, surgery may be his best option. There is no evidence that diet can cause IBD, but certain foods and drinks may aggravate symptoms. He should limit his dairy intake; eat smaller meals; drink plenty of fluids; eat foods lower in fat, especially if the Crohn’s is affecting his small intestine; consider taking multivitamins to supplement lost nutrients; avoid foods that worsen symptoms; experiment with fiber to find the foods that cause the least upset but help reduce diarrhea; and finally, consider consulting a dietician familiar with the disorder to get further suggestions. He should also try to keep his stress levels down by exercising within his limits, practicing relaxation and breathing techniques and, perhaps, even learning biofeedback. He may also wish to see a Crohn’s specialist at a nearby teaching hospital.

W. Somerset Maugham claimed, “I dare say one profits more by the mistakes one makes off one’s own bat than by doing the right thing on somebody’s else advice.” Do you agree with that? In theory, one tries to learn from one’s mistakes. However, surely it is as good to learn from others. Look only at the West hand and the auction. The opponents cruise into four hearts. Would you double? What would be your opening lead? North was aggressive in jumping to four hearts with such weak trumps, but he hoped partner could ruff some spades in the dummy. Of course, if he had settled for three hearts, South would have raised to game. When they reached four hearts, you were probably patting yourself on the back for not making a two-heart overcall. But if you do double, you had better know what to lead. If, for example, you choose the club queen, South can win in the dummy, play a spade to his ace, ruff a spade in the dummy, lead a diamond to his hand, trump another spade, take his other two diamond winners, and ruff a third spade, being happy when East cannot overruff the dummy. Then declarer runs dummy’s remaining trump and endplays you, forced to give him two more heart tricks for his contract. Since spade ruffs in the dummy are predictable, lead the heart ace and continue with the heart queen (or a low

heart). Then the contract must fail. Declarer will take one spade, two hearts, three diamonds, one club and only two spade ruffs in the dummy. United FeatUre Syndicate

Dear Dr. Gott: My 19-year-old grandson was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease two years ago. At that time, he was a 234-pound linebacker entering his senior year of high school. Now he is a 174pound 19-year-old struggling with life in general and would easily pass for 40. He has practically missed two years of his life due to extreme pain, which resulted in hospital trips and everything else associated with this condition. He has taken every medication I can imagine, including Humira injections into his stomach. At present, he is takDR. PETER ing hyoscyamine and Apriso plus pain medicaGOTT tion when it gets too severe. He has a colonoscopy every year. When he has one of these “attacks,” the pain is so severe that he gets in a fetal position and can barely walk. He has been to the hospital at least 15 times in the past two years. He recently went twice in one week and before that, in just a three-month span, he went seven times. He is unable to work because he is sick or too weak to function at least five days a week. He has never used drugs, alcohol or tobacco. Surgery has been suggested, but we are trying to avoid that if possible. He has seen at least six different doctors, and we are now hoping that you can help us. Please. Dear reader: Crohn’s disease is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It can be debilitating and may lead to life-threatening complications, so it should be taken seriously by the sufferer and the treating physician(s). While there is no cure, there is good news. Today’s treatments can greatly reduce symptoms and may even lead to longterm remission. The most common symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal pain and cramping, reduced appetite, weight loss, ulcers and blood in the stool. Others, especially

A low pressure system strengthens as it moves over the Central US and into the Ohio Valley on Saturday. The system will start the day over the Upper Midwest and slowly track over the Mississippi River and up the Ohio River Valley. Flow around this system creates a frontal boundary including both a warm front that extends eastward and a cold front that stretches down the Mississippi River. Expect periods of heavy precipitation to develop along this front. Periods of heavy snow will develop over the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes, while heavy rains are anticipated over Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, and Kentucky. Between 0.5 to 1.0 inches of rain are likely and snowfall accumulation between 4 to 8 inches are possible across the Upper Midwest throughout the day. Strong winds will develop along the back side of this system. This will cause blizzard like conditions of blowing snow, as wind gusts will reach up to 30 mph across the Dakotas and Minnesota. In the East, the low pressure system in the North will continue tracking northeastward into Hudson Bay. Thus, a short break in wet conditions is anticipated across the Northeast and New England as one system moves away and another approaches from the west. In the South, a mild trough of low pressure hovers over the Carolinas. This trough will pick up moisture from the Atlantic Ocean and spread scattered showers onshore. In the Western US, another trough of low pressure brings rainy conditions to the Pacific Northwest. Expect more low level rain with high elevation snow in the Cascades. Snow levels across eastern Oregon and Washington will rise to 7,000 or 8,000 feet on Saturday afternoon.

Falcons go for a rare three-peat

Knox, Hornets go for title No. 1

BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com

RALEIGH — West Rowan enters today’s 3A championship against Eastern Alamance seeking its third straight state title. Winning coaches often declare that tradition never graduates, and there have been enough dynasties in NCHSAA football to prove that theory valid. Greensboro Page, Richmond County and Charlotte Independence all ruled three or more consecutive years in 4A. Randleman and Reidsville enjoyed great runs in 2A. Robbinsville, Swain County and Albemarle and Thomasville have built dynasties in 1A. But 3A has been a class by itself. It’s been wide open. While the history of 3A includes numerous back-to-back champs — Ragsdale and Pisgah in the 1970s, Burlington Williams and Shelby in the 1980s — there have been no threepeaters.

History tells us what the Falcons (15-0) are trying to accomplish this afternoon is an epic task. They’ll be trying to dominate their classification as it’s never been dominated. The Falcons are good and they’re confident — 45 consecutive wins tend to build confidence — but they expect a tough fight when the ball is kicked off at 3 p.m. at N.C. State’s Carter-Finley Stadium. There is no program in the state West respects more than Eastern Alamance. West’s admiration for the EA coaching staff ranks right up there See WEST, 5C with its regard

BY MIKE LONDON RALEIGH — Salisbury quarterback John Knox has been directing the Hornets’ tripleoption offense so long he almost seems like a member of Joe Pinyan’s coaching staff. Tonight’s 7 p.m. 2AA championship game at Wake Forest against Northeastern will be the 50th Knox has played as a member of the Salisbury varsity, including seven as a freshman. Salisbury has been on the right side of the scoreboard in 37 of those games. Tonight, win or lose, will be Knox’s last time in the red, gold and black. “We’ve known for four weeks it was the last game for John and all our seniors if we didn’t win,” Pinyan said. “Now we know for sure this is the last one. Saturday is going to bring careers to an end, and it’s going to be emotional, but we’re in a position where these kids have a chance to finish as champions.

Bowl bid gives UNC proof of resiliency BY AARON BEARD Associated Press

CHAPEL HILL — North Carolina is headed to a bowl game for the third straight season, though the Tar Heels could argue they’ve accomplished more this time just by getting there. When the Tar Heels face Tennessee in the Music City Bowl on Dec. 30, they will have a chance to match their record from each of the past two seasons despite the distraction of an ongoing NCAA investigation into the football program. That probe into agent-related benefits and academic misconduct forced 14 players to miss at least one

game and seven to miss the entire season. “It’s very rewarding,” quarterback T.J. Yates said Friday. “Everybody on this team has extremely high expectations for ourselves and our team. We know we could’ve done better. ... With all the stuff that happened, this situation is a pretty good one for us and we all kind of realize that.” The bowl game will cap an emotional and volatile season for the Tar Heels (7-5), who looked ready to contend for an ACC division title behind a defense that returned nine starters from a unit that

WSAT’s Johnny Cloer said Knox sought him out in the aftermath of last season’s crushing overtime loss at Newton-Conover in the 2AA Western final. There is still debate over whether Knox scored in overtime or was stopped inches from the Newton-Conover goal on fourth down to end Salisbury’s season, so Cloer assumed Knox wanted to gripe about the disputed call. Instead, Knox extended his right hand and thanked Cloer for broadcasting Sal-

High stakes Red Sox, Yankees try to outbid each other BY BEN WALKER Associated Press

Butch davis and the tar Heels have overcome plenty of adSee UNC, 6C vertsity this season.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Immediately after the Red Sox landed Carl Crawford, the Yankees boosted their already whopping offer to Cliff Lee. Their high-stakes rivalry is escalating, hundreds of millions of dollars by the hour. The other teams in the majors? They can only marvel at Big Boys Gone Wild. “I’ve never played in those poker games,” Arizona Diamondbacks general manager Kevin Towers said Thursday. “It’s a different pool of players we focus on and look at. I hear about it and kind of

His Orioles play in the same AL East as those top spenders. “I want to form the Mid-Atlantic Division,” he said, totally kidding. Not everyone is out of the

Fleming top coach From staff reports

North Rowan’s Tasker Fleming has been named YVC Coach of the Year for football. Fleming led the Cavaliers to a 6-1 league record and the conference championship. South Stanly’s Luke Little was runner-up for coach of the year honors. North defensive lineman Javon Hargrave was runner-up to West Montgomery quarterback Jaquil Capel for YVC Player of the Year honors. Cavaliers joining Hargave on the All-YVC team were offensive lineman Will Robertson, receivers Pierre Givens and Sam Starks, linebacker Darius Jackson, defensive lineman Garland Archie and defensive back Kornell Cook. Albemarle players making the team were offensive lineman Michael Scott, tight end Corey Dick, running back Marques McCormick, returner/DB Montego Baldwin, defensive linemen Larell Jones and Deterris Williams, linebacker Julius Williams and defensive back Tevin Collins.

 Boys basketball There were Cavaliers who scored more points but no one was more important in North Rowan’s 89-36 YVC win against Gray Stone Friday night than Jordan Kimber. Kimber finished the game with nine points, but he also had 10 assists, six rebounds and four steals. “He’s the reason we got out like we did,” coach Andrew Mitchell said. “He scored the first six points. When he gets off like that, it brings energy to our team.” North (4-1, 3-0) pressed the Knights and it paid off with a 28-8 lead after a quarter. It was 49-20 at halftime. “We pressed and they started turning the ball over,” Mitchell said. There was no letup in the third quarter as North outscored Gray Stone (2-5, 1-2) by 21 and led 74-24 going into the fourth. Leading the Cavs was Sam Starks with 18 points. Daniel Chambers scored 13, Michael Bowman 12 and Javon Hargrave 10. Mitchell said the key to Starks’ play was not settling for 3s. “We told him he had to do other things if he wanted to play,” Mitchell said. “He scored 18 and didn’t shoot a 3-pointer.” • East Rowan’s boys fell to NPC foe West Iredell 66-59. Avery Rogers led the Mustangs (0-6, 0-1) with 15 points, and Jared Hough came off the bench for 14. Weston Rogers was the other Mustang in double figures with 12. West Iredell (4-2, 1-0) started the game on an 11-0 run before East went on a 9-0 run. West Iredell led most of the way and led by 12 before Hough and Avery Rogers led a late charge. “Weston and Jared stepped up tremendously,” East coach Trey Ledbetter said. • Davie County turned up the defense in the second half and beat Alexander Central 74-60 to improve to 6-0. It’s the best start for the War Eagles since 2000. Davie was actually down by 10 in the first half but scored the last four points of the first half to creep within 36-32. “I definitely challenged them (at halftime),” coach Mike Absher said. “Defensively, we played so much better in the second half.” In fact, Davie outscored the Cougars 42-24 after halftime. Shannon Dillard led the War Eagles with 16 points, while brothers Raheem and Caleb Martin each had 13.

 Girls basketball North Rowan’s Tiffany Brown went 4-for-5 from the foul line in the fourth quarter as the Cavaliers held off Gray Stone 57-56 Friday night. North (2-3, 2-1 YVC) raced out to a 21-12 lead after a quarter behind eight points from Brown. The Cavs led 35-23 at halftime. “I felt pretty good,” coach Tony Hillian said. “But in the third quarter, they stopped listening. I told them to be patient.” North still led 48-35 after three quarters, but Gray Stone (0-5, 0-2) outscored North 17-9 in the final eight minutes. That’s when Brown hit her clutch free throws. Hillian said the Cavs finally protected the ball, making only six turnovers in the first half and 17 overall. “We had been making 35 to 40,” he said. Brown led the way with 12 points, while Taylor Sells, JoJo Carby and Teaunna Cuthbertson each had 10. • East Rowan girls basketball coach Danielle Porter said she was dumbfounded after the Mustangs lost their NPC opener to West Iredell on Friday night 72-57. It was the first win for West Iredell after opening with four losses. “They basically outworked us, outhustled us and outrebounded us,” Porter said. The first half went well enough. East was up 32-30. But in the second half, everything the Warriors threw up went in the basket. They outscored East 42-25 after halftime. “It wouldn’t surprise me if they shot 60 percent,” Porter said. “They’re definitely better than last

year.” Olivia Sabo led East (2-5, 0-1) with 14 points, while Ashley Goins had 13. Mallory Drew and Sydney Poole scored nine and eight, respectively. “Offense wasn’t an issue,” Porter said. “Until we make the commitment that defense is the cornerstone of our team, we’ll have setbacks like this.”

 Jayvee basketball East Rowan’s jayvee girls defeated West Iredell on Friday 46-27. Leading scorers for the Mustangs (5-2) were Kendall Brown with 19, Bobbi Thomas with 11, Lauren Thomas with eight and Allyson Mills with six. Brown had six steals. Bobbi Thomas grabbed 21 rebounds. Lauren Thomas had seven rebounds and four steals. • Carson’s girls won their NPC opener over Statesville 47-19. Madison Weast led the way with 19 points. Kate Cole added nine.

 Catawba basketball Catawba’s men’s basketball team (3-3) travels to Time Warner Arena today to play Limestone at 2 p.m. Catawba’s Dominick Reid, Keon Moore and Justin Huntley are averaging double-figure points, while Lee Martin and Stuart Thomson are close to double digits. Limestone (5-1) owns some impressive early wins. Jarrell Douglas, a 6-5, 220-pound junior college transfer averages 21.3 points and 8.8 rebounds for the Saints.  Catawba’s women are home today against St. Paul’s at 2 p.m. Dana Hicks has been tremendous for the Indians (5-4). She averages 20.0 points and 10.8 rebounds. Milica Ivanovic, Kisha Long and Elizabeth Merritt also average double-figure points, while Anna Dellapenta leads the team in assists. Jasmine Stewart (17.0 ppg) usually leads the St. Paul’s Tigers.

Amare stoudemire has been the catalyst for New York. York eventually signed Felton, the former Charlotte guard who made the tiebreaking 3-pointer with 2.7 seconds left in a 113-110 victory over Toronto on Wednesday and has six 20point, 10-assist games this season. Stoudemire and Felton weren’t clicking earlier this season. But the Knicks kept saying that the hours they practiced together would eventually pay off during games. “It’s not a miracle thing

that we just started working on and we won six straight,” said center Ronny Turiaf, another newcomer who has brought a defensive presence to a team that went years without one. “No, it’s a continuation and the fact that we’re all getting along and understanding each other.” Critics say it’s also a product of a soft schedule. A victory at New Orleans was the only one during the 12-game stretch against a winning team.

The NBA notebook ... INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Pacers had proven they could score with any team in recent years, but their defense had struggled under coach Jim O’Brien. Not anymore. The Pacers entered Friday night’s game against Charlotte leading the NBA in field-goal percentage defense and blocked shots. They put in another solid effort against the Bobcats, holding Charlotte to 38 percent shooting in the second half of a 100-92 win. Danny Granger scored 18 points, Brandon Rush added 16 and Dunleavy had 15. Hibbert, a 7-foot-2 center, had 13 points, 14 rebounds, six assists and three blocks for the Pacers (11-10). Josh McRoberts scored 11 points. Gerald Wallace led the Bobcats with 26 points. Nuggets 123, Raptors 110 TORONTO — George Karl earned his 1,000th coaching victory, as Al Harrington scored a season-high 31 points and Nene added 26 to help the Denver Nuggets hold off the Toronto Raptors 123116.

Albemarle wins 1AA

Associated Press Associated Press

CHAPEL HILL — Nat Dunlap threw three touchdown passes Friday night to help Albemarle beat Pender County 21-7 for the Class 1AA North Carolina High School Athletic Association championship. Desi Dockery had two catches, both touchdowns, for 59 yards as the Bulldogs (12-4) won their second straight state title and fifth in the last 10 years. Josh Johnson rushed for 116 yards and a touchdown for the Patriots (12-3), who scored on their opening drive for a 7-0 lead. Dunlap, the game's most valuable player, completed 4 of 10 passes for 107 yards. He bounced back from an early interception, throwing two touchdown passes in a span of 1:38 late in the second quarter to give the Bulldogs a 14-7 lead at halftime. "I went over to the sidelines and I kind of gathered myself," Dunlap said. "I said, 'It's not going to happen like this. My senior year, state championship, I've got to grab this thing by the horns and I've got to lead this team up and down the field.'" Dunlap got plenty of help from Albemarle's defense after a shaky start. Pender went 91 yards on its first possession, which Johnson capped with an 11yard touchdown run. The Patriots totaled 112 yards on the 16-play drive because they overcame three penalties, but they managed just 70 yards on 38 plays the rest of the game. "We started out playing really, really well," Pender coach Tom Eanes said. "But I think for the first time in quite a while, when we got down, we had that 'deer in headlights' look. It's hard to get that back sometimes." Pender had a chance to extend its lead after Javon

Powell intercepted Dunlap's pass early in the second quarter, but Julius Williams recovered a fumble for the Bulldogs at the Albemarle 23-yard line. Dunlap responded with a 40-yard touchdown pass to Dillon Taylor to tie the game, and he added a 38yard scoring strike to Dockery on Albemarle's next possession. Dockery added a 21-yard touchdown catch midway through the fourth quarter to put Albemarle ahead by two scores.

NHL Brad Richards converted in the second round of the shootout, and James Neal scored in regulation for Dallas. Richards got the puck past Cam Ward after a series of head fakes, and Stars goalie Andrew Raycroft denied Eric Staal in the third round to secure the extra point. With No. 1 goalie Lehtonen out with lower back stiffness, Raycroft made 22 saves. Raycroft also is expected to start Saturday night at Phoenix. Jiri Tlusty scored in regulation for Carolina. Red Wings 4, Canadiens 2 DETROIT — Pavel Datsyuk had a goal and an assist and Jimmy Howard made 36 saves to help the Detroit Red Wings beat the Montreal Canadiens 4-2 on Friday night in the matchup between Original Six rivals. Nicklas Lidstrom, Niklas Kronwall and Patrick Eaves also scored for Western Conference-leading Detroit. Avalanche 4, Thrashers 2 ATLANTA — Milan Hejduk gave Colorado the lead 42 seconds into the third period, and Craig Anderson stopped 24 shots to help Colorado end a five-game road losing streak.

BASEBALL FroM 1B mix, though. The Texas Rangers, eager to resign Lee, went to his home in Arkansas and presented a proposal. They didn’t publicly disclose what it was worth. “We made an offer with substantial additional commitments in years and dollars,” Rangers owner Chuck Greenberg said. “It was a very constructive conversation.”

Rose had 29 points and nine assists, and Chicago held off a late rally by the Los Angeles Lakers to match a season best with its fourth straight victory. Timberwolves 109, Pistons 99 MINNEAPOLIS — Kevin Love had 27 points and 18 rebounds and Darko Milicic blocked a careerhigh seven shots against the team that drafted him No. 2 overall in 2003, leading Minnesota over Detroit. Thunder 97, Hornets 92 NEW ORLEANS — Russell Westbrook had 29 points and 10 assists, Kevin Durant scored 25 points and Oklahoma City beat New Orleans. Bucks 97, Rockets 91 MILWAUKEE — Andrew Bogut had 24 points, 22 rebounds and five blocked shots to lead Milwaukee over Houston as the Bucks finished their homestand 3-1. Spurs 108, Hawks 92 SAN ANTONIO — Richard Jefferson and Manu Ginobili scored 18 points apiece, and San Antonio won its fourth straight to keep the NBA’s best record, beating Atlanta.

NFL CHARLOTTE — The NFL has suspended Carolina Panthers guard Duke Robinson four games without pay for violating the league’s substance abuse policy. Robinson is already on injured reserve, but he’ll be able to serve the suspension over the final four games. • EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Brett Favre still hasn't been able to throw a proper pass in practice, and the Minnesota Vikings still haven't given up hope their quarterback will extend his NFL record for consecutive starts against the New York Giants on Sunday. Favre did minimal work in practice Friday for the first time all week, making a few soft tosses to test out the sprained SC joint in his throwing shoulder. He is listed as questionable on the injury report and will be a game-time decision on whether he will make his 298th straight regular-season start. • CASTLE ROCK, Colo. — Denver Broncos rookie cornerback Perrish Cox has been arrested for investigation of felony sexual assault.

Still no timetable when the prize pitcher might make a decision on where to play in 2011. “He’s a premier free agent,” Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said. “He’s worth waiting for.” Predictably, the Yankees quickly raised the ante for their No. 1 target, offering Lee a seven-year contract. That’s up from their original six-year proposal — no telling how much higher than $140 million they went. A person familiar with the Crawford deal told The Associated Press that his agreement was subject to passing a physical. The person spoke

The college basketball notebook ... CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — From his first shot, Demetri McCamey knew something was wrong. The ball just didn’t feel right. Turns out the ball was an undersized women’s ball, something the officials finally fixed after seven minutes of No. 16 Illinois’ 74-63 victory over Oakland earlier this week. “After my first shot I thought, ‘This can’t be right,’” McCamey, who finished with 30 points, said about the women’s ball making it into the game. The first seven-plus minutes were played with the size 6 ball. McCamey noticed the odd ball early but couldn’t convince the officials. Illini center Mike Tisdale finally did. “I’ve coached 33 years and that’s a first,” Oakland coach Greg Kampe said. Play quickly restarted with a size 7 men’s ball — about an inch larger and 2 ounces heavier — but neither team’s shooting immediately improved. DUKE UPDATE DURHAM — Duke freshman Kyrie Irving has had his right foot placed in a hard cast. School officials said Friday night that the team’s medical staff chose to immobilize the foot to help an injured toe heal. The star point guard remains out indefinitely for the top-ranked Blue Devils, who play host to Saint Louis on Saturday. Irving injured his toe Dec. 4 in a victory over Butler in a rematch of last season’s national title game. TENNESSEE-PITT PITTSBURGH — Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl is about to learn whether it was wise to allow his Volunteers to become, well, volunteers. No. 11 Tennessee (6-0) meets No. 3 Pittsburgh (10-0) today in an SEC-Big East Invitational matchup of early season unbeatens. The game will be at the Consol Energy Center, not Pitt's Petersen Events Center, but it will be anything but a neutral site game — not with 16,000 Pitt partisans attending. "We're going to get a great barometer of where we are at," Pearl said. For Pitt, it's been 15 years, or since a December 1995 game against then-No. 11 North Carolina, that the Panthers played a non-conference game in Pittsburgh against such a highly ranked opponent.

beers overlooking the court, one of the nation's remaining unbeaten teams is doing layups as Eminem's "Not Afraid" echoes through the nearly empty arena. "Not Afraid?" Well, after two hours and a 32-point win, this unheralded, unselfish squad was "Not Defeated" either. Led by star senior guard Norris Cole, the 11-0 Cleveland State Vikings are loaded with experience, depth and all kinds of confidence. On the cusp of cracking the AP's Top 25 poll, Cleveland State may be good enough to follow fellow Horizon League member, Butler, by making a deep run in the NCAA tournament. "There's a chance," said the clutch Cole, averaging 21.5 points per game. "I'm not going to look too far ahead. But if we keep working hard, who knows what can happen." Gary Waters knows. Now in his fifth season as coach after resigning at Rutgers, Waters, Cleveland State's perpetually positive coach, has five starters and nine letter winners back from a 16-17 team that played a vicious non-conference schedule last season. One year after beating out Butler for the Horizon crown and then stunning Wake Forest in the NCAA tournament, the Vikings took their lumps. You see? LeBron James didn't deflate all the basketballs in this proud city before going south, after all. SOMETHING MISSING LEXINGTON, Ky.— Every so often Kentucky coach John Calipari will stop practice after guard Darius Miller does something spectacular. Calipari will blow the whistle, play will stop and the coach will turn to Miller’s teammates with a pleading look. In turn the Wildcats will yell to the talented, but inconsisent junior: “Do that in a game!” Miller says he’s trying. The athletic Miller has become an enigma in his two-plus seasons on campus. Calipari believes the former Kentucky “Mr. Basketball” has the ability to take over games. He’s just not doing it, at least, not yet. Miller is averaging 9.9 points and 5.3 rebounds for the 17th-ranked Wildcats (6-2), who play rapidly improving Indiana (7-1) today. Yet Calipari says there are too many times when Miller can disappear in plain sight. That can’t happen on a team with just 10 players in uniform. “There’s something that holds him back when it’s a four-point game and he can bust open the game,” Calipari said. “There’s something that makes him evaporate when we’ve got guys out and now you must step up and go do something.”

ing the dollar amount. The speedy Crawford is a fourtime All-Star and just won his first Gold Glove. He hit .307 with 19 home runs, an AL-leading 13 triples and 90 RBIs for Tampa Bay last season. He scored 110 runs and stole 47 bases. A dynamic player at 29, he has spent his entire major league career with the Rays. He is the franchise leader in several categories, including hits, RBIs, runs and steals. Gonzalez, an All-Star slugger and Gold Glove first baseman, came in a trade with the Padres. “We did this objectively over

months and months and months,” Epstein said. “We realized there was a shot if things came together the right way, we could be pretty aggressive on a couple players we really liked.” The Yankees never made an offer to Crawford, even though Cashman had dinner with him Tuesday night. “It’s a great player. A great move,” Cashman said. “They’ve had two huge acquisitions. They’re loading up like they always do, and this is even more significant than a typical Red Sox reload. So they’ve done a great job so far.”

Salisbury’s Justin Morgan, left, and Concord’s Scott Brewer share a laugh.

SALS. BOYS FROM 8C 4A Hopewell on Wednesday. The Spiders came out pressing, running and firing, as always. The surprise was Morgan had the Hornets applying their own defensive heat. “They say pressing teams don’t like to be pressed, and I guess that was true tonight,” Brewer said. “I didn’t really have us prepared for a press, and their press bothered us way more than it should have. We kept patty-caking the ball and turning it over.” High tide for the Hornets was a stickback by Petty for a 20-8 lead after six minutes. The Spiders finally caught up at 32-all midway through the second quarter, and the visitors led 49-41 at halftime. “The coaches told us to play fast but to think slow,” Petty said. “We tried to pressure the ball on defense and get it inside on offense, and we played as hard as we could. “But we got a little tired at the end of the half and the end of the game, and we stopped getting the rebounds we got when we were fresh. We just don’t have a lot of depth right now.” Concord opened up a 15-point lead in the third quarter when Kendall Knorr stroked back-to-back 3s, but the Hornets still weren’t done. Wilkins made two 3s in the fourth quarter to cut the Spiders’ lead down to six, but then the visitors had their explosive finish.

Salisbury’s Tyler Petty (22) goes high to block a shot by Concord’s Xavier Stywall (23).

Carson (2-5 overall) seemed most energetic in the early stages when it raced to a 14-6 lead late in the opening quarter. Second-quarter layups by Houston and Zach Wagner helped provide a 2113 edge with 5:30 remaining in the half. “We knew they were going to be fast and physical,” Wagner said after netting a team-high 12 points. “We tried to play the game at HOUSTON their pace instead of slowing it down.” That plan never really materialized. The youthful Hounds started playing Philadelphia street ball and Carson, which started five seniors, was unable to keep pace. “They took the game to an intensity level that we WAGNER never matched,” Perry said. “At the beginning of the game it may have looked like we were, but we were just making some shots. We never did dig in and get the stops we needed.” Gaither, for one, was unstoppable. So was slasher Nick Schofield, who drove the lane for a layup, then converted a free throw to lift Statesville (2-3, 1-0) to a 33-27 halftime advantage. When Gaither scored the first three baskets of the third quarter — all within a little more than two minutes — the lead was doubled. “Josh is still in a big learning process,” said Statesville coach Sonny Schofield. “Right now he’s a swingman. His inside game is developing, but I have to turn him into a perimeter player.” Gaither had nine points in the second quarter and nine more in the decisive third, when Carson fell behind by 16. “We needed somebody to stay consistent and he was the one,” Schofield added. “That kid has no limits.” Statesville held its widest margin, 69-44, when Jaquan Warren hit a putback with 2:42 remaining to cap a 13-2 scoring spurt. “I don’t know if we felt the game getting away from us,” Perry said. “But I did feel lucky to come into halftime in the situation we were in. Then in the third quarter we couldn’t get anything going. Offensively we just sort of ran around didn’t do anything we wanted to do.” Most of that was Gaither. But the Cougars may have been rattled by the Hound Pound — Statesville’s enthusiastic student cheering section. “They were awfully loud,” Wagner said. “You couldn’t hear anything. We stopped running our plays and were just running around the floor.” Perry admitted he expected more from his team. “With five seniors I’d thought we’d excel in a game like that,” he said. “We just had a hard time tonight. When it looked like everything was going to go well, their intensity took over the game. We’ve got to learn some things from this and then not let it happen again.” • NOTES: Carson continues its conference season Tuesday at East Rowan. ... Houston had 10 points, all in the first half.

down 3-pointers in the first quarter as Carson raced to a 20-3 lead. It was 30-5 after Jakey Clark stole the ball from a Statesville player and sailed in for a layup with 5:25 remaining in the first half. “I’m not making excuses, but Carson’s really improved,” said SHS coach Todd Jones. “They’re shooting the ball a lot better than they used to. They play defense and execute on offense.” Jones made a point to praise the work of Dulkoski. “She ran the show for them,” he said. “That’s what you want a point-guard to do.” Carson also received a glowing performance from sophomore Allison Black- BLACKWELL well, who shot 4-for-7 from the floor and scored 11 points. Clark led the defense with six steals. “We came out and pressed and wanted to jump on them right away,” said Misenheimer, who finally has a team with her own stamp on it. “Our thing the past few games has been to come out and make a statement from the get-go. We definitely did that tonight.” As well as the Cougars shot, it could have been even better. “We found out we played the whole game with a men’s ball,” Misenheimer explained. “It’s bigger and heavier. Nobody knew until late in the game when it bounced to me on the bench. I said, ‘This doesn’t feel right.’” Perhaps, but five straight wins certainly does.

Salisbury has had a lot to celebrate during a nine-game winning streak that propelled the Hornets into tonight’s 2AA state championship game.

He’s been a Knox fan ever since. There are a lot of Knox fans, a lot of Darien Rankin fans, a lot of Tre Jackson fans and a lot of Romar Morris fans. This is a special senior class Pinyan has, and they compete in a variety of sports. After last week, there are even David Simons fans. Kickers don’t ordinarily generate fan clubs, but Simons has turned in back-to-back, gamechanging outings. Like Eastern Alamance, West Rowan’s championship foe, Northeastern wears green and gold and is known as the Eagles. Northeastern is from the northeastern corner of North Carolina in Elizabeth City. It’s a team that will have quite a

ern didn’t attract a single vote. But here they are now, playing for, as Salisbury’s Morris put it recently, “all the marbles in the basket.” Northeastern has won 13 straight. Salisbury has won nine in a row. Northeastern was a 4A school before the opening of Pasquotank High in 2000 reduced its enrollment. Salisbury fans will recall the Hornets spanking Pasquotank 4715 in the first round of the 2006 playoffs. Prior to this year, Northeastern had won just six playoff games since the school was consolidated in 1969, but Moore, who has been at the school 13 years and head coach for six, knew he had a special class coming when this year’s seniors were still in middle school. “This group of seniors had never really lost before, and when we started this season out 0-2, it woke them up,” Moore said. “They don’t like losing.” Northeastern had never gotten past the third round, but now it’s playing for a title. Salisbury’s seniors have weathered their own roller

WEST FROM 1C for Davie’s coaches. While Eastern Alamance fell to the West juggernaut last season, the Eagles died with courage, on their shields, and the Falcons have respect for fellow warriors. “I’ll make no bones about it, I’d rather be playing someone else — anyone else,” West coach Scott Young said with a grimace. “Eastern Alamance’s coaches do one heck of a job and their players do one heck of a job. They’ve got just a handful of returning starters, and they’re playing for a state championship. I think you’ve got to put that accomplishment on their coaching staff.” Jump in a time machine and return to frigid CarterFinley on Dec. 12, 2009. West’s fabulous tailback K.P. Parks found the end zone three times in the first 13 minutes, and the Falcons climbed all over Eastern Alamance 20-0 in last year’s title game. That’s the point at which opponents generally flee in terror from the Falcons, but EA dug in. The Eagles actually took a 21-20 lead before Parks’ fourth TD of the day and several West defensive stands finally subdued them 28-21. No wonder Young isn’t giddy about facing the Eagles in a rematch — without Parks. “It’s 20-0 and we’ve got them just about knocked right out of the stadium, and they still came back,” Young said. “Let’s be honest about it. With most teams we have an intimidation factor working in our favor because of our reputation, because of all the games we’ve won. There’s a lot of ‘Oh, my gosh, we’re playing West Rowan.’ But that’s not a factor with Eastern Alamance. They’ve seen us, and they came back against us, and we have to respect that.” This will be a rematch, but then again, it’ll really be two

It also lost All-State picks Chris Smith, Eli Goodson and Timmy Pangburn. West’s stars now are quarterback B.J. Sherrill, Shrine Bowl right guard Charles Holloway, defensive end Emmanuel Gbunblee and DBS Eric Cowan, Trey Mashore and Domonique Noble (another Shrine Bowler). All played key roles as juniors in last season’s title game. Noble picked off two passes, while Gbunblee had two sacks. Junior Dinkin Miller (1,594 rushing yards), who mopped up for Parks last season, keys West’s running game. As Young noted, Eastern Alamance was hit even harder by graduation than West. The Eagles returned just six who started last season — two on offense, four on defense. “But we had 23 guys back in all,” said EA coach John

Kirby, who has plugged holes with experienced seniors who were backups a year ago. The marquee returner for EA is 250-pound defensive end Nick Miles, a Shrine Bowl pick and Elon commitment. He’s been nicked up. “Nick hurt his ankle in our second playoff game,” Kirby said. “It wasn’t exactly a high ankle sprain, but it’s nagged at him. He should be OK Saturday, close to 100 percent.” Kirby said it’s important that he has last year’s experience under his belt. The 2009 title game was a logistical nightmare for EA, beginning with the bus taking them to the stadium arriving an hour late. That disrupted the Eagles’ pregame workout routine, hurt focus and contributed to falling into a huge hole early. “We do know what a state championship game is all about now and we do know what to expect and can prepare our kids better,” Kirby

coaster of emotions. As sophomores, they were part of an 11-0 regular season that ultimately entered the record books a disappointing 7-5 after four forfeits and a firstround playoff loss on the road. Salisbury has overcome more adversity recently, including the loss of senior tight end Riley Gallagher to multiple concussions. The Hornets have trailed at halftime by two TDs each of the past two weeks against Berry Academy and Shelby, but they rallied to win both in the friendly confines of Ludwig Stadium. The most similar team to Northeastern the Hornets have faced is Berry. “They’re a lot like Berry in that they’re very fast and they have a tall quarterback who can throw it,” Salisbury defensive coordinator Ryan Crowder said. “They spread you out, and they’ve got a big running back who’s very good.” Defensively, Northeastern also reminds Salisbury coaches of Berry. “Very athletic and they run to the ball well,” SHS offensive coordinator J.K. Adkins said.

said. “But West Rowan is still a tall order any way you look at it. We’re still trying to get grass stains out of our jerseys from playing them last year.” While West’s defense has generally been fabulous — 7.1 points a game allowed — Eastern is exceptionally balanced with its spread offense and has a chance to move the ball. Senior QB Will Walker, who backed up superstar Lamar Ivey last season, has thrown for 2,337 yards and 21 TDs. Javonte Ellison has rushed for 1,465 yards and 21 TDs. Ellison killed Havelock in the Eastern final, rushing for 190 yards and four touchdowns. Eastern’s defense has posted only one shutout, five fewer than the Falcons, but it has limited 12 opponents to fewer than 20 points. The Mebane-based Eagles’ losses came in early October against Northern Guilford (which is playing for the 3AA title) and Western Alamance. They’ve won their last eight. West showed grit in rallying to beat Hibriten 20-14 last week in the Western final. The Falcons haven’t been in that situation, but they responded to adversity with flying colors. Some observers believe the West-Hibriten game was, in effect, the state championship game, but Eastern Alamance (13-2) will have something to say about that. Sherrill, West’s uncommitted senior QB, could be the pivotal figure today. In the last two title games, the gameplan was to pound relentlessly with Parks. Sherrill hasn’t thrown a TD pass in either championship game, but this is his team. He’s thrown 30 TD passes as a senior and rushed for 17. He has 65 TD passes in his career, and the Falcons have never lost a game in which he’s been the starting QB. Ken Massey’s computer rankings say the Falcons are the state’s second-best team, behind 4AA Butler, and he ranks Eastern Alamance, which finished third in its

Denzel Ward (eight sacks) will play both ways at fullback and linebacker. He leads the Eagles with 107 tackles. Northeastern quarterback Terry Williams is 6-foot-5 and has thrown for 2,300-plus yards and 29 TDs. “He was a little timid last year, but he’s blossomed,” Moore said. “It’s been night and day.” Austin Fowler (nine TDs) is the leading receiver. Mason James, a 215-pound back, has bruised for 2,468 yards on 323 carries. The workhorse roughed up Cedar Ridge in the Eastern final for 241 yards on 36 carries. Salisbury will need big games from Rankin, Jackson and 235-pound middle linebacker Kavari Hillie to contain him. The Hornets have their own weapons. Besides, Knox they’ll rely on wishbone halfbacks Romar Morris (1,683 rushing yards, 29 TDs) and Dominique Dismuke (995 rushing yards, 17 TDs). Morris, Dismuke and new tight end Keion Adams, who has been getting treatment for an ankle injury, are Knox’s primary receivers. “When you think Salisbury,

you think speed,” Moore said. “On film, No. 8 (Morris) and No. 22 (Dismuke) are really fast. They also look physical and they look like a team that really wants to run the ball.” That’s an accurate scouting report. Ken Massey’s computer rankings don’t offer a ton of respect for either teams. Salisbury is ranked fifth in 2A and 42nd in the state, while Northeastern, despite its winning streak, is ranked just No. 15 in 2A and 87nd statewide. The computer says Salisbury has knocked off two teams better than Northeastern — Thomasville and Shelby — and picks the Hornets to beat the Eagles 30-21. Pinyan’s not concerned about the computers. He’s worried about Northeastern’s running back, quarterback and a defense that’s held its last two opponents to a single TD. “Once it sunk in we were here, we got down to work,” Pinyan said. “It’s so hard to get to this game. Once you get here, you want to do everything in your power to win it.” Common Sense pick: Salisbury 24, Northeastern 21

ride just to get to WinstonSalem. “We’re so far out there, we feel like we should be playing for the championship of Virginia,” Northeastern coach Antonio Moore quipped. “Going to Winston, that’ll be making a day of it.” Neither Northeastern (132) nor Salisbury (12-3) was supposed to be here. Both were after-thoughts all season. Salisbury dropped off the radar early with losses to Carson, West Rowan and Davie, although two of those three are still playing. Northeastern had an uphill fight gaining media respect after it lost its first two games, one to a Virginia school, the other a 40-14 thumping from Southwest Edgecombe. After their bumpy starts, Salisbury and Northeastern spent the remainder of the season lurking outside a 2A poll that often featured a halfdozen unbeaten teams, as well as perennial bullies such as Reidsville, Carver, Cummings and Thomasville. In the Nov. 3 AP poll, Salisbury received one 10th-place vote, and that came from its hometown paper. Northeast-

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — A dapper Cam Newton strolled briskly down the red carpet, smiling and acknowledging adoring fans. He paused momentarily to sign a few autographs, then rushed off to begin collecting some of his hardware. The Auburn star won the Davey O’Brien Award as the nation’s top quarterback Thursday night, when he also walked away with the Maxwell Award as the best all-around player in the country. His next stop will be New York, where he’s the favorite to win the Heisman Trophy on Saturday. Newton led the SEC in rushing with 1,409 yards, while also completing 67.1 percent of his passes for 2,589 yards and 28 touchdowns. In all, he accounted for 49 TDs, scoring one on a reception and running for 20 to join former Florida star Tim Tebow and Nevada quarterback Colin Kaepernick (also this year) as the only Football Bowl Subdivi-

toxication charges after being arrested early Friday morning. Attorney Jim Lowry submitted a not guilty plea on behalf of Hartline and Ashley Carnes in Fayette County District Court on Friday afternoon. The two were arrested outside of a residence on Friday morning following an argument with another woman, Samantha Sheeran. A pretrial court date has been set for Jan. 24. Carnes, 20, was also charged with disorderly conduct and alcohol intoxication as well as being 18 to 20 years old and using or attempting to use false identification to obtain alcohol. MIAMI JOB LINCOLN, Neb. — Nebraska coach Bo Pelini says he is not getting ready to interview for the University of Miami's head coaching job. Pelini and Nebraska athletic director Tom Osborne issued a joint statement Friday denying rumors that Pelini could be a candidate for the Miami job. Osborne says Pelini has done an excellent job and looks forward to having him help the Huskers transition into the Big Ten next year. No. 17 Nebraska (10-3) is getting ready for the Dec. 30 Holiday Bowl game against Washington (6-6). WOFFORD COLUMBIA, S.C. — For Wofford to continue its season of redemption, the Terriers will have to beat a Georgia Southern program trying to return to its national championship tradition. The six-time national champion Eagles (9-4) have made it to the quarterfinals of the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs in their first trip back to the postseason in five years, taking on fellow Southern Conference member Wofford (10-2) today. A win would give the Terriers their deepest trip in the playoffs since their postseason debut in 2003 — a season after going 3-8 and being picked to finish sixth in the SoCon by the league's coaches before the season started.

UNC From 1c ranked among the nation’s best the previous year. But that was before the NCAA first visited campus in July, which ultimately led North Carolina to open the season with 13 players out indefinitely due to the probe.

In one case, the school even announced shortly be-

Resurgent Army looking to end Navy dominance

JoePa outlasts another coach The college notebook ... STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — For four years, Penn State offensive lineman Stefen Wisniewski has been asked questions about his coach's future. When will he step down? When will his last game be? The list goes on. Now, three weeks before suiting up for the last time as a Nittany Lion, the affable senior will indeed play in a marquee coach's last game — only the Outback Bowl will be Urban Meyer's finale at Florida. As for Wisniewski's coach, Joe Paterno? Well, he's sticking around. While the names on the other side of the field rotate like a revolving door, Penn State's legendary coach continues to outlast them all. The Outback Bowl against the Gators (7-5) on New Year's Day will be JoePa's 37th postseason appearance in his 45th year as head coach, both major college records. "I almost laughed when I heard that (Meyer) was retiring," Wisniewski said Friday. "Our coach is 83, and our coach wants to come back. But hey, if that's what he's got to do, that's what he's got to do." DEFLECTING RUMORS STARKVILLE, Miss. — Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen was his usual energetic self at Friday night's practice, telling jokes and barking instructions to players as he jogged around the chilly field in a gray hooded sweatshirt and maroon hat. Normally, that wouldn't be a very big deal at all. But with two major coaching jobs open at Florida and Miami and Mullen's name attached to both, his presence in Starkville has been closely monitored. "I don't worry about it," Mullen said. "I don't live in a speculation world. We live in a real world. That's all we deal with."

An unusual journey to Heisman favorite Associated Press

AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — Auburn wasn’t even looking for a quarterback when the Tigers happened upon Cam Newton at a little junior college in Texas. Tigers assistant coach Curtis Luper made a recruiting trip to little Blinn College in Texas about a year ago looking at wide receiver Dexter Ransom, not a passer. “We were not even going to take a quarterback,” offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn said. “Coach Luper went down and said, ‘You’ve got to take a look at this quarterback.’ It just so happened one of our guys was leaving and it opened up a spot. I went down there and checked him out and started doing homework on film and checking out his background. It was probably within a month of signing day when we actually started recruiting him. “I’d never even heard of him. I didn’t even know who he was.” They didn’t get Ransom; he signed with Arizona. What the Tigers did get was a meteoric rise to national prominence with the Heisman favorite, an SEC championship and a shot at the BCS title in Glendale, Ariz., against Oregon on Jan. 10. Newton is one of four Heisman finalists, joining Oregon running back LaMichael James, Boise State quarterback Kellen Moore and Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck. He’s widely regarded as

fore kickoff against Clemson that it was holding out an additional player who was later declared permanently ineligible by the NCAA. Of the players caught up in the probe, defensive tackle Marvin Austin and defensive end Robert Quinn were regarded as potential NFL first-round draft picks, while receiver Greg Little, safety Deunta Williams and cornerback Kendric Burney all flirted with the idea of entering the NFL draft after last season. Of that group, Austin, Quinn and Little were either ruled permanently ineligible or dismissed from the team and never

a decisive favorite after a season when neither SEC defenses nor an NCAA investigation slowed him down. Newton is also a finalist for the Maxwell Award, which goes to college football’s best player, and the Davey O’Brien Award for the top quarterback. The 6-foot-6, 250-pound Newton played the final four games amid a barrage of reports that his father was involved in a pay-forplay scheme during his recruiting at Mississippi State, and even academic cheating during his stay at Florida. • The father of Newton said \he will not attend the Heisman Trophy award ceremony because his presence might "rob Cam and the event of a sacred moment." Cecil Newton, who was invited to attend Saturday by the Heisman Trust, released the statement Thursday through George Lawson, the Atlanta-based Newton family attorney. "For all of my fifty years of life, coupled with 25 years of marriage, I have made an exhausting attempt to be a good husband, father and generally a good person of integrity," said Cecil Newton, who was involved in a failed pay-for-play scheme during his son's recruitment to Mississippi State. "The past 60 days have caused all that my family worked to accomplish to come into question.

played this year. It would be easy for the Tar Heels to have what-if thoughts, especially after they nearly upset LSU in that opener despite the depleted roster and stayed in the ACC Coastal Division race until November. Yates admitted it will be difficult to avoid it in the offseason, while coach Butch Davis said he hasn’t allowed himself to do it — yet. “I’m sure there will come a time when you look back and say, ‘Gosh,’ with a little bit of sadness — sadness for the kids that didn’t get a chance to play, sadness for the guys that did play,” Davis said. “But I will tell you

PHILADELPHIA — Rich Ellerson is sponsoring a cadet from Slovenia at West Point, and Thanksgiving only validated what Army’s second-year coach has long known. “His family came to visit. It was only their second time in the country,” Ellerson said. “Only the dad speaks a little bit of English. They don’t know football from third base. They’d never been to West Point before, and they drive through the Thayer Gate. By the time they get to our house, they don’t know anything about football, but they know we better beat Navy.” Easier said than done, of course. “All they had to do was drive down the street and look at the front of everybody’s house,” Ellerson continued. “They’re not sure what the heck that means, but they know we better beat Navy. Our guys have clearly grown up with that.” Have they ever. And it’s been a little too painful for far too long at West Point. The programs meet on today at Lincoln Financial Field in yet another installment of this proud rivalry, and none of these Black Knights has experienced the exhilaration of beating Navy. The Midshipmen, in fact, have defeated Army eight straight times and hold a 54-49-7 advantage in the series. Last year, Navy won, 17-3. But you wouldn’t know it by listening to Army. The Black Knights (6-5), after all, are bowl bound for the first time in 14 years, and as a result, they are brimming with confidence. “We’re a better team (than last year),” defensive end Josh McNary said. Give credit to McNary, who has 271⁄2 sacks and 481⁄2 tackles for loss in his career, both program bests at West Point, for having the right mindset. But it’s going to take more than words to right this ship. Navy’s streak is the

I’m probably more pleased and happier with the way the season went than probably most of you could imagine. “I think whatever tiny amount of time you look back and say what could have been, I look at what did happen and I’m very proud of them.” The Tar Heels will get to experience something a little different on this bowl trip. North Carolina hasn’t played a bowl game out of state since reaching the Peach Bowl nine years ago, reaching the Meineke Bowl in Charlotte in 2004, 2008 and 2009. This time, they’re heading to Nashville for their first game against

longest in the series by either academy, and began with a 58-12 rout in 2002. The scores that followed aren’t pretty, either: 34-6, 42-13, 4223, 26-14, 38-3, 34-0 and the aforementioned 17-3. “Clearly, this (beating Navy) is something that’s been missing in their time here, something that they can’t wait for another opportunity to right the balance sheet, if you will,” Ellerson said. “Eight is enough.” Take a closer look, and it’s even more impressive. The Middies (8-3) have surrendered just six points over the last three games and have not allowed a touchdown since the fourth quarter of the 2006 game. Ouch! “We talk about it all the time,” Navy senior cornerback Kevin Edwards said. “That’s what we live for, not giving up points. If we can go this week and not give up a touchdown again, I think that would make the win even sweeter.” It looms as a more difficult task this time, though. In less than two years, Ellerson has transformed Army into a winner again. For the first time in 14 years, the Navy game won’t end the season for the Black Knights, who will play SMU in the Armed Forces Bowl in Dallas on Dec. 30. Navy also will play in the postseason, against San Diego State in the Poinsettia Bowl on Dec. 23. A year ago, Army led Navy 3-0 at halftime and the Black Knights forced three fumbles and limited the Midshipmen to 191 yards of total offense. This year, as they try to build off that. And maybe, just maybe, Navy is susceptible this year. Despite the heroics of quarterback Ricky Dobbs — he has rushed for 40 touchdowns over the last two years, an NCAA quarterback record — Navy’s serviceacademy supremacy ended this year. Air Force beat both Navy and Army to claim the Commander-inChief’s Trophy that the Middies had held for seven straight years.

the Volunteers since 1961. The seniors remember the thrill the players had when they finally reached a bowl game two years ago. Tailback Anthony Elzy pointed out the team is still waiting for its first bowl win under Davis after a couple of happy-to-be-here attitudes. Then again, Williams said, being in this position is a bit of reward by itself. “I don’t think it’s the same type of feeling,” Williams said. “This year was kind of a more satisfying kind of feeling. I think we have worked so hard just to get here. A lot of guys are feeling real good about that.”

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS The Federal Aviation Administration is missing key information on who owns one-third of the 357,000 private and commercial aircraft in the U.S. — a gap the agency fears could be exploited by terrorists and drug traffickers. The records are in such disarray that the FAA says it is worried that criminals could buy planes without the government’s knowledge, or use the registration numbers of other aircraft to evade computer systems designed to track suspicious flights. In many cases, the FAA cannot say who owns a plane or even whether it is still flying or has been junked. TJX Cos’ move to shutter its A.J. Wright discount stores and convert them to other brands such as T.J. Maxx will cost 4,400 workers — many of them part-time — their jobs by mid-February. Ninety-one stores will be converted into T.J. Maxx, Marshalls or HomeGoods stores, and 71 will close entirely, along with two distribution centers. About 3,400 staffers will remain. The company is based in Framingham, Mass. The U.S. trade deficit fell to its lowest level in nine months, as

growing demand for American goods overseas and a falling dollar pushed exports to their highest level in more than two years. The trade deficit narrowed to $38.7 billion in the Commerce October, Department reported. The figure was 13.2 percent below September’s deficit of $44.6 billion. U.S. exports rose 3.2 percent to $158.7 billion, the highest level since August 2008. Sales of American-made machinery, farm products and autos fueled the growth. Imports dipped 0.5 percent to $197.4 billion, with lower demand for oil and foreignmade cars. Stocks hit their highest levels in two years as the Dow Jones industrial average rose 40.26, or 0.4 percent, to 11,410.32. The Nasdaq index rose 20.87, or 0.8 percent, to 2,637.54. The top executive at General Motors said the automaker’s attempt to rebound from bankruptcy is being hindered by salary limits on companies that accepted federal bailouts. GM CEO Dan Akerson said the company faces many challenges, including the retention of top executives.

Carson boys STATESVILLE — Carson’s boys basketball team had a handful of Statesville 71 problems Friday night, Carson 54 none more glaring than Josh Gaither. The six-foot sophomore scored 32 points for host Statesville to spoil the Cougars’ NPC opener. “A skilled kid like that,” coach Brian Perry said, shaking his head after CHS was dealt a 71-54 defeat. “If you’ve got someone who is willing to fly around and dive on the floor like that and has skills on top of it, you’ve

got something special.” Gaither was a differ- PERRY ence-maker for Statesville, which erased a pair of eight-point deficits in the second quarter. His driving over-andunder layup from the baseline pulled the Greyhounds within 24-20 midway through the period and his 3-pointer from the right corner gave them a 25-24 lead moments later. “We didn’t defend anything — including him,” disgruntled Carson forward Nick Houston said. “We left him open and he made shots.”

STATESVILLE — There’s no need to Carson 66 do a doubleStatesville 18 take. That is indeed the Carson girls basketball team sitting tied for first place in the NPC standings. “We’re a different team this year,” coach Brooke Misenheimer said after CHS routed Statesville 66-18 in its league opener. “We come out and we expect to win every time.

ing from the coaches. The girls believe it too.” They should. Carson has captured five straight decisions since dropping its first two this season. “This year,” sophomore Kelly Dulkoski said, “it’s all about winning.”

Dulkoski did her part against the Greyhounds (0-6, 0-1). On a night when Carson forced 35 turnovers and held the hosts to five field goals, the 5-foot-6 point guard contributed 10 points and seven assists. Teammate Sarrah Holman, a 5-7 junior, shot 7for-13 from the field and led all scorers with 16 points. “Really, tonight was just my night,” Holman said. “I was on and I just kept shooting.” Both Holman and teammate Chloe Monroe knocked

Salisbury boys lose shootout Concord manages 102 in wild battle BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com

jon c. lakey/SALISBURY POST

John Canipe (10) and Corey Murphy (20) defend Concord star Jacquise Moore (4).

Concord boys coach Scott Brewer is Concord 102 an uptempo Salisbury 79 guy who believes in 32 minutes of hell for every opponent. Prior to Friday’s game he stared down at Salisbury’s nine-man team, still missing a half-dozen football studs, sighed and shook his head. “A cold night in Salisbury, and nowhere that I’d rather be,” he said. “I just wish they had all their guys. It would be a great game.” Actually, it still was a pretty great game. Salisbury, playing five ironmen just about all the way, went toe-to-toe with last spring’s 3A runner-up for the first 30 minutes. Ten Spiders scored, and Concord’s depth was decisive in a 102-79 victory. “We played good at times, but we’ve got to learn to play a full game,” Salisbury coach Justin Morgan said. “We’ve got to learn to stay calm and do what we do instead of what the other team wants us to do.” The Hornets, who won shorthanded against North Rowan and East Rowan, led most of the first half, but they wilted in the final minutes of the second quarter and they were understandably exhausted at the end of the game. Salisbury was outscored 25-8 down the stretch, including a long 3-pointer at the horn by Connor Burchfield. That shot gave Concord 102, and Spiders spilled onto the floor like they’d won the state title. “I hate it ended like it did and the final score was what it was,” said Salisbury guard Corey Murphy, who scored 19 points. “I really feel like it’s a game we could have won.”

Salisbury’s Jarrett Rivens (44) goes against Concord’s Connor Burchfield (10). Concord led just 77-71 with 3:15 left to play, but it was Showtime for the Spiders down the stretch. Super athlete Jacquise Moore rammed down back-to-back dunks, including one on which he fired the ball off the backboard on a personal fastbreak, snagged the carom and hammered the ball through the cords. That display of athleticism sent about 200 fans to the exits screaming and high-fiving. Moore had 23 points to lead five Spiders in double figures. Tyler Petty had a careerbest 22 points for the Hornets. Forrest Wilkins drained five 3s on his way to 19 points. Alex Weant produced 12 points and 11 rebounds. “Hats off to Salisbury’s kids and coaches,” Brewer said. “They were shorthanded, but they were ready to play and got the ball where they needed to. We had to withstand some great runs.” Concord (4-1) plays at a blistering pace and put 100 on

Hornet girls Salisbury beats Concord for fourth straight win BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com

Salisbury’s Ashia Holmes (4) passes over Concord’s Jasmine DeBerry (22).

Salisbury’s girls emerged from a roughSalisbury 60 a n d - t u m b l e Concord 47 game with Concord with bruises, bumps and a 60-47 win. “Concord was an aggressive team, and the officials let us play,” Salisbury senior Jessica Heilig said. “We just had to get through it by playing together.” Salisbury got double-doubles from Heilig and freshman Brielle Blaire to win its fourth straight outing since an openingnight loss to 4A power Butler. Blaire had 15 points and 10

boards, while Heilig had 14 points and 13 rebounds. Doreen Richardson scored 12, Olivia Rankin had 10 points, and Ayanna Holmes racked up six assists. It appeared in the first half that Salisbury, which has won 201 of its last 217 outings, might coast. Quick guards Ayanna Holmes and Doreen Richardson disrupted Concord’s offense with their pressure on the ball, and the Hornets built a 19-point lead in the second quarter. But the Spiders refused to be knocked out, and they made the foul-plagued Hornets, who lost Ashia Holmes and Richardson to five personals apiece, work right down to the final horn.

“Concord didn’t quit — no they didn’t,” Salisbury coach Chris McNeil said. “But I think our girls should be starting to realize they’re going to get every team’s best shot. Concord’s a good team. They gave us their best shot.” Concord’s 1-4 record doesn’t tell the whole story. Coach Angela Morton always plays a scary non-league schedule. Alleson Briggs led the Spiders with 15 points, Jhemelia Edwards had 12, and Jasmine DeBerry scored 11. Concord seniors Edwards, DeBerry and Mariah Black played on Mor-

How to bring the outside in when the weather COOLS

(ARA) - For many folks, connecting with nature has calming and invigorating effects. However, cold and short days make getting outside a little more difficult. If you find yourself coming down with a case of cabin fever every winter, try bringing the outside in and decorating your home in a way that will make you feel more connected with the outdoors in the comfort of your own living room.

There are many ways to make your home seem less like a sheltered fortress and more like a cozy connector to the natural world. From incorporating natural elements in your home decor to splashing your walls with open air scenes, here are a few ways to beat the winter doldrums through earthy embellishments:

* Landscape ind o o r s through art. A great way to make your home feel cozier in the winter is to decorate with landscape art that reminds you of the beauty of

the season. If you live in a warmer destination and are missing the white wonderland

created by snow, decorate to get your fix of winter. Take it a step further and transform an entire room of your home with a wall mural. From holidaycentric Santa scenes to beautiful snowy landscapes, Murals Your Way offers numerous holiday wall murals that can transform your living room into a lovely winter escape. Their SmartStick repositionable wall fabric allows easy install and removal. Just store your mural with the holiday decorations and reapply it year after year.

* Feed the fire. There’s nothing better than the natural heat and aromas created by a flame burning in a fireplace during a cold winter d a y . D o n ’ t have a f i r e place? Not to worry, as there a r e other ways you can create a toasty ambiance. Download a fireplace application that can be displayed on your TV or computer screen; just

the vision of dancing flames may be able to warm your soul. Or find some candles that emit earthy aromas that will have you feeling comfortable and cozy. * Bring the forest inside. There’s a reason why people go to the trouble of cutting down trees and lugging them into their homes for the holidays. The natural smell of pine is invigorating and reminds us of being outside. Take it a step further and gather a bundle of sticks from birch or aspen trees for a winterthemed arrangement of your choosing. Potted trees and plants can also add life to an otherwise lackluster room.

venture outside and collect perfect-looking pine cones and embellish them with natural oils or spices to give your home a warmer fragrance. Winter can be cold and dreary in some parts of the country, but if you spend more time connecting yourself with nature and celebrating the season, you’ll be shocked at how the time flew by when you hear the first birds chirping in the spring.

Open House Sunday 2-4PM

* Making scents. In addition to scented candles, you can also use other natural elements to create scents that can tie you back to nature. For example,

Home

Keep out cold and pests - Call a professional below! Insulation Check the condition of the insulation in your attic and basement. Replace any that needs it and add more to make your home energy efficient.

Chimney Have your chimney cleaned by a professional and install a screen over it to keep out animals, birds and debris.

Garage Doors Make sure the weather stripping at the bottom of your garage door is in good condition and keep snow and ice away from the door to prevent it from warping.

Driveways, Patios and Walks Inspect your driveways, patios and walks and repair any places where the concrete is cracked or broken.

Roofs Inspect your roof and replace any rotten or cracked shingles. If you have a chimney vent, dormer or skylight, make sure the joints are protected by a metal flashing and the edges of the flashing are sealed with roof cement to prevent leaks.

We are the Preferred Dealer of Simonton Windows

Furnace Have your furnace and heating ducts professionally cleaned. Replace any dirty filters and check to confirm the thermostat and pilot light are working properly. Be sure the pipe bringing fuel to the furnace is not loose or leaking.

Siding Inspect the siding on your home and replace any pieces that are loose or warped.

Plumbing Become familiar with your plumbing. Find out where the pipes are located and learn how to shut off the water in case the pipes should freeze. Drain and store all garden hoses and sprinklers.

We make lasting impressions. ®
