Saturday, December 18, 2010 | 50¢ Rowan County District Attorney Bill Kenerly shares a laugh with his wife, Toni, at Friday’s reception for the retiring district attorney.

Paying tribute to retiring DA Law enforcement community presents gifts at reception BY MARK WINEKA mwineka@salisburypost.com

emily ford/SALISBURY POST

Rowan County District Attorney Bill Kenerly earned a Purple Heart as a U.S. Marine in Vietnam. Now his pending retirement is breaking the hearts of a devoted staff, law enforcement officers and the legal community who paid tribute to

him Friday afternoon at a reception in Salisbury. The usually unflappable Kenerly became a bit emotional toward the end of remarks and gift presentations at the F&M Trolley Barn. “Don’t tell anybody in the jail I cried,” Kenerly, 65, said. The gifts were impressive: • The Rowan County Justice Center will soon have a “Kenerly Clock,” affixed outside on the North Main Street end of the building. The clock comes from the Rowan County Bar Association and will include a brass plaque recognizing Kenerly’s 20

School officials, veterinarians get in the spirit Two local groups have chosen to spend money on disadvantaged children this year instead of each other or their clients. Rowan-Salisbury The School System’s Superintendent’s Advisory Team decided to donate to the Christmas Happiness Fund instead of exchanging gifts among themselves. Public Information Officer Rita Foil said the team meets weekly and consists of herself, Chief Financial Officer Tara Trexler, Superintendent Dr. Judy Grissom and Assistant Superintendents Gene Miller, Rebecca Smith, Delores Morris and Dr. Walter Hart. For two years, they have pooled money together to give to Christmas Happiness. “It’s local, and it’s something that we know will go to benefit the community,” Foil said. “We feel it is a worthy cause.” Corrie Connolly, one of the owners of Lazy 5 Veterinary Services, said the fund’s local focus also has drawn the support of her office for the past two year. “Prior to last year, we sent out Christmas cards from the clinic,” she said. “Last year, we decided the money better spent to Christmas Happiness fund in honor of the people we would send cards to.” Contributions to the Christmas Happiness Fund may be brought to the Salisbury Post, 131 W. Innes St., between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. weekdays or mailed to the Salisbury Post Christmas Happiness Fund, P.O. Box 4639 Salisbury, NC, 28144.

Ministries seek to show people new ways to live more abundantly BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com

ost people go to church for spiritual enlightening. For others, it’s a refuge. But it can also be a place to get healthy. Churches have at some time or another discussed their members’ health in some form, but lately a new movement is taking place where people turn to church for health promotion and disease prevention. Churches across the nation, and Rowan County is no exception, are starting health ministries as a way to connect people to Christmas resources, give events and them information services, 3B how to care for themselves and empower them to live life abundantly. They start with a volunteer congregational health promoter — who may or may not have a health care background — to coordinate programs and resources for the church and its members. The health promoter may complete required training and become affiliated with the Parish Nursing and Health Ministry program at Carolinas Medical CenterNorthEast. Volunteers attend meetings where different congregations share their experiences and report their progress.

Deaths

ENOCHVILLE — A Kannapolis woman died in southern Rowan County in one of several wrecks Friday morning caused by black ice. Dianne Jones, 66, was struck by another vehicle and killed while driving in the 8900 block of Smith Road near Freeze Road in Enochville. Alice Ward, 34, also of Kannapolis, slid into the oncoming lane when her 2002 Dodge Durango hit a patch of black ice, according to Trooper C.F. Rogers of the N.C. Highway Patrol. Ward’s vehicle struck the front of Jones’ 2007 Kia Spectra on the driver’s side, Rogers said. Jones died at the scene. Ward and her daughter were taken to Carolinas Medical Center-Northeast with broken bones. Ward was charged with driving left of center and misdemeanor death by motor vehicle. Duane Mann, who lives on Mann Road off Smith Road, said the wreck shook his windows while he was sitting at home Friday morning. He rushed out to see if he could help, which he said he has done multiple times before because cars often wreck on the narrow road. “That road is horrible ... especially in the wintertime when it freezes over,” Mann said. He said he has been petitioning the N.C. Department of

CONCORD — A man shot by two Concord Police officers Friday died. He has been identified as Dennis Holland Jr., 52, of 77 Tribune Ave. The two officers involved are Master Police Officer L.R. Hubbard, a 12-year veteran of the department, and Master Police Officer John Parker, a six-year veteran. Both officers have been placed on administrative duties until an internal investigation is complete. Here’s how the Concord Police department described the events: At 10:15 a.m. Friday, a 911 emergency call from an obviously upset male caller indicated that at 77 Tribune Ave., an-

al that his office had. Retired Superior Court Judge John Holshouser Jr. said Kenerly probably holds a string of murder convictions that’s a record. Kenerly served as lead prosecutor in 38 murder trials and negotiated murder pleas in 123 other cases. Busby said Kenerly became obsessed with the details in his murder trials and spent hours, days and weeks working on the theories behind his cases, looking for a flash of insight — the thread that he was able to convey to juries and the victims’ families. Several speakers Friday described Kenerly as one of the most respected attorneys and prosecutors in North Carolina and praised his ethics, integrity, fairness and professionalism. Holshouser credited Kenerly with refusing to farm out to his staff some of the most difficult cases. Many other district attorneys in the state can’t say that, he added. “A lot of people are sitting in the North Carolina Department of Corrections thanks to Bill Kenerly,” Holshouser

those gathered, especially his staff and the law enforcement community. “They call it a justice system because it keeps on rolling and is not dependent on one person,” Kenerly said. Busby said victims of crime, juries, lawyers, law enforcement officers and probation personnel trusted Kenerly because of his integrity. She also described his calm demeanor. Over her 18 years with the office before she retired in 2009, Busby saw him yell only once. If Kenerly has a character flaw, it may be that he cares too much, Holshouser said. “Bill Kenerly worried more than any single human being I have known,” Holshouser added. Kenerly once told Holshouser if he didn’t have something to worry about, he’d be worried. A Republican, Kenerly did not seek re-election this year. Republican Brandy Cook won the November election over Biernacki and will take office in January.

said, describing Kenerly as always willing to “wade into the pits.” “It’s going to be a big loss,” Biernacki said of her boss’ pending departure. Kenerly graduated from Duke in 1967 and the University of North Carolina School of Law in 1973. He was an infantry officer with the U.S. Marine Corps from 1967-70, serving in Vietnam. After law school, he worked as a research assistant for former N.C. Chief Supreme Court Justice Susie Sharp. He worked as an assistant district attorney from 1975-78 before leaving for private practice. He won his first election as district attorney in 1990, when Rowan and Cabarrus counties were in one prosecutorial district. The district split in 1994, and Kenerly has been the Rowan County DA only ever since. Kenerly and his wife, Toni, have three grown sons — Bill, Jay and Scott — and five grandchildren. Kenerly took time to introduce those grandchildren Friday during brief remarks and expressed gratitude to all

Court Judge Charlie Brown had a personal gift for Kenerly. Kenerly once confided to Brown that the newspaper’s courtroom drawings of him during high-profile murder trials were not very flattering. It often looked as though his face were melting, Kenerly complained. Brown had the same courtroom artist, Mark Brincefield, paint three things and frame them: a caricature of Kenerly, the prosecutor during a trial and a wide view of the Rowan County Justice Center from North Main Street. • Chaplain Mike Taylor of the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office presented Kenerly with a Humanitarian Award. • WBTV reporter David Whisenant narrated and produced a short piece on Kenerly titled, “Thanks from a Grateful Community.” • Senior Assistant District Attorney Karen Biernacki also presented Kenerly with a certificate from John Smith, director of the N.C.

treatments, Harrison said. “The overall goal is to get them to think about good health. It’s not just about weight loss, but really about living life to the fullest and maximize the ability to feel good throughout the day,” Blume said. Ashley Lanning, whose husband, Jarrod, is the pastor, is a participant in the class. “I like it because it doesn’t feel like a workout. I come to dance. It’s a lot of fun,” she said. Lanning has lost several pounds since she began Zumba. Taylor Lowery, 12, a student at Southeast Middle School, said Zumba feels like a dance class, not a workout. “You can do as much as you want,” she said. Vickie Johnson and her sister, Sharon Haithcock,

have returned to Zumba every time there’s a class. “I’ve seen weight loss. I feel better in my clothes. It does help,” Haithcock said.

South Rowan YMCA canceled its Zumba classes, Susan Blume, Judy Davis and some other folks at the Landis church were looking to possibly fill that void. Debbie Harrison, who had been a participant at the YMCA class, said at that time she was looking to become a certified Zumba instructor. Harrison, along with Karen Joyce, became certified and they now teach class three days a week at the church. Both give credit to two other Zumba instructors — Sabrina Walters and Jill Rary. “They changed our lives and we want to pay it forward,” Joyce said. The classes at the church started with just one day a week and expanded when participants requested more days. The classes began with 25-30 people and have now doubled. The cost is $2 to participate. “They have so much fun. It’s just positive,” Harrison said. The classes help relieve stress. And they aren’t just physical, but they help mentally, Joyce said. “It’s changed my whole outlook on my whole day,” she said. The church also incorpo-

tion,” Davis said. There are several pharmacists, dietitians and nutritionists who attend the church, Davis said, and others who have health issues. The hospital provides pamphlets and educational material for the church’s bulletin board, she said. “There’s so much that can be done. I feel like I haven’t scratched the surface,” Davis said. Church members showed an interest in exercise and so the focus is largely on this aspect of healthy living. One of their largest programs and one that has drawn lots of interest is Zumba, which features interval training that combines slow and fast rhythms with a mixture of Latin dance, though dance experience isn’t a requirement. It started in the mid-’90s and was created by celebrity fitness trainer “Beto” Perez when he forgot his aerobic music for a class one day and grabbed a tape of Latin music he had on hand. Today, the class is taught in more than 90,000 locations throughout the country, its website shows. Trinity Lutheran Church began its Zumba classes in mid-September. About the same time the

KNIFE other male was stabbing a woman. The caller said he thought the woman was dead, and that the man continued to stab the woman. Dispatchers were unable to get any more information from the caller. Concord Police arrived at the scene two minutes after being dispatched. The initial information indicates that as the officers were exiting their vehicles and going toward the residence, Holland, wielding a large butcher knife, charged toward the officers. Holland had what appeared to be a bright red stain on the front of his shirt. Officers commanded him to drop the knife. Holland was screaming incoherently and continued to charge the officers. Both officers discharged their duty weapons, bringing Holland to the ground. Holland was transported to Carolinas Medical CenterNorthEast, where he later died. A search of the residence and the surrounding area revealed no other victim. Police say they don’t know who made the initial call. Preliminary information indicates the phone used to make the 911 call belonged to Holland. The State Bureau of Investigation has been called in to investigate. The Concord Police Department will conduct a separate investigation. It’s the third time in which police officers have shot and killed people recently. • On Nov. 13, Salisbury Police Officer J.R. Cable shot James Richard Brown, 46, who police said had assaulted his father with a baseball bat. • On Dec. 3, Officer K.H. Boehm shot 37-year-old Robert Faulkner, who had threatened the officer with a beer bottle and assaulted him.

rates nutrition into its program. Blume, a nutritionist, is often asked her opinion on eating right. “Eating right can play a role in your ability to exercise, your recovery and your immune system,” Blume said. She participates in the Zumba classes and brings her children as well. Blume said in her college days she did step aerobics. She said Zumba doesn’t feel like work, but more like fun. The biggest appeal for Zumba fanatics, Blume said, is that anyone of any age and fitness level can participate. The people in the classes at Trinity Lutheran are children, grandmothers, arthritis suffers and breast cancer survivors. One of the participants is a woman finishing up her last round of chemotherapy

information with the members. There was something for everyone including nutrition, blood pressure checks, information about hospice care and a discussion with teens about smoking. “You can see the need. A lot of people have come to me and asked me things. It’s just been a blessing for our congregation to have some way to get the information they need,” she said. The church does not have a parish nurse, but has access to health professionals in the community. “We have always had a nursing ministry and of course we incorporate that with the social concerns of the ministry,” Deborah said. The church also held events such as a Walk, Talk and Worship, an exercise group. “We try to make sure we hear the call of the people and what their needs are,” she said. The church has more older people who need someone to drive them to doctor’s appointments and provide meals. The church also has helped some who are on a fixed income pay for their medications. “I love them and I want them to have a good life. Just knowing how to be an advocate for yourself makes a huge difference,” Deborah said. She said being an advocate can be as simple as asking a doctor questions during appointments. “I know I’m making a difference in helping other people. It’s what our pastor (Anthony Freeman) teaches. It’s not about you, but what you can do for your fellow man,” Deborah said. Judy Davis is the congregational health promoter at Trinity Lutheran Church in Landis. Although a health promoter isn’t DAVIS required to have a medical or health care background, Davis worked for 18 years in the health care field. The church’s program started a few years ago. The church started talking about it two years ago. “Our church was interested in moving in that direc-

Highway Patrol breaks ground for new communication center BY HUGH FISHER hfisher@salisburypost.com

With state and local officials on hand, the N.C. Highway Patrol’s deputy commander helped local troopers break ground Friday for a long-awaited new communications center on U.S. 29 near China Grove. The new 1,800-square-foot facility will replace cramped quarters and 20-year-old equipment at the current communications center. The local Highway Patrol is the headquarters for telecommunications services for 10 counties. Motorists’ calls from cellphones and requests for help from other agencies are funneled to the three or four men and women working in this space. Among the dignitaries on hand was N.C. Secretary of Crime Control and Public Safety Reuben Young.

“The potential for danger is always lurking around the corner. The trooper’s greatest link to the rest of the world is their ability to communicate with the communication center,” Young said. Young’s office is the statelevel equivalent of the DepartYOUNG ment of Homeland Security. He used the terrorist attacks of 9/11 as an example of the need for law enforcement officers to communicate clearly and effectively with one another and other public safety agencies. The new communication center “will provide real-time interaction ... optimizing resource allocation and improve response coordination to better save lives and protect property,” Young said. Lt. Col. Wellington Scott, deputy command-

er of the N.C. Highway Patrol, stressed the importance of this facility to the state’s law enforcement operations. “Troop E communications comprises 17 communicators, averaging between four to five communicators per shift, to manage communications across 10 counties,” Scott said. In other words, Rowan County is the communications hub for more than 230 state troopers. The new facility will almost triple the size of the current communications center. And it will bring the local command post’s technology up to a state-of-the-art level. New Motorola digital radio consoles with dual computer screens will be installed, with full interoperability with new 800 megahertz VIPER radios being installed across North Carolina. Right now, telecommunications staff operate push-button radio consoles that were in-

stalled in 1989 and for which new parts are no longer being made. The current space is roughly the size of a singlewide mobile home, with four communications consoles, a very small area for food and drinks, a restroom and an office. Highway Patrol Lt. N.W. Denman, who oversees the Troop E communications center, said the new facilities will help the telecommunications personnel. They work 8- or 10-hour shifts depending on the time of day and day of the week, he said. “So, on those extended days and during bad weather events, they’ll have a little bit of comfort,” Denman said. Another perk of the new facility will be better placement of traffic camera monitoring screens. Right now, the monitors for highway cam-

this suspect is wanted in the robbery of the Kangaroo convenience store in China Grove.

China Grove store robbed CHINA GROVE — Police are investigating an armed robbery that happened around 1 a.m. Friday at the Kangaroo Pantry, 519 N. Main St. China Grove Police Sgt. D.P. Walther said a man who appeared to be in his 20s walked into the store and went to the cold drink case. He got a soft drink and walked to the counter. Instead of paying for the drink, Walther said, the man pulled a handgun and demanded money. The clerk complied. The man left on foot and ran around the corner toward the back of the store, Walther said. The clerk didn’t see whether the man got into a car or continued on foot. No one else was in the store when the robbery occurred. The robber is described as a black man with a light complexion, about 5-foot-9 and 150 pounds. He wore a black hooded jacket, blue jeans and a white shirt. Investigators ask anyone with information about the crime to call Sgt. D.P. Walther with the China Grove Police Department at 704-857-7755 or Crime Stoppers at 866-639-5245.

American Legion hosts party for disabled children BY CYNTHIA HOOPER For the Salisbury Post

Traffic stop leads to drug arrests A traffic stop led to the arrest of two Salisbury men on felony weapons and drug charges Thursday. Brian Dujane Neely, 35, of 1325 W. Ridge Road, was driving with Joseph Albert Hall, 25, of 2205 Woodleaf Road, when they were stopped on West Innes Street for having a taillight out. According to the police report, an officer with the Salisbury Police Department walked up to the passenger side of the car and saw what appeared to be marijuana crumbs on Hall’s lap. Police said Hall also made a “furtive movement” with his hand. The officer then requested the two men get out of the car for a pat-down search. Neely, the driver, was found to be carrying 29 grams of crack cocaine, a .357 magnum revolver and $1,500 cash, police said. He was arrested and charged with possession of a firearm by a felon and possession with intent to sell and deliver cocaine. The drugs have a street value of a few thousand dollars, police said. Hall, who police said was found to be carrying a 9 mm handgun, was arrested and charged with carrying a concealed weapon. The men were placed in the Rowan County Detention Center under a $5,000 bond for Neely and a $2,500 bond for Hall. They both made a first appearance in court Friday.

If the power of a smile could be harnessed, all of Salisbury’s holiday lights could be lit by the smiles on the faces of 40 happy local children. On Friday, the Harold B. Jarrett American Legion Post 342 hosted its annual holiday party for some of Rowan County’s disabled children. Forty local students attended the party, which included entertainment, lunch, gifts and a special visit from Santa himself. Held every year since 1978, the event started when the late Dallas Fuller was commander of the local post. For the past 10 years, Harry Garwood, the post’s children and youth chairman and Phyllis Richardson, children and youth chairwoman for the post auxiliary, have worked together on the event. Children from around the county, some of whom have come for the last several years, were invited to attend. Students came from Overton, Shive and Koontz elementary schools, Erwin and Southeast middle schools and Salisbury High School. They were accompanied by teachers and parents. Burns and Company Illusions and Ventriloquism entertained the children and the adults. They have been performing together for the past 25 tears and certainly know how to make people laugh. Several children assisted Don Burns with some magic tricks and they couldn’t stop gig-

Katelen Lee opens her gift. gling when student Darius Hall got up and shot lightning from his fingers. Kathy Burns brought her dolls to life and had all the children laughing. One puppet in particular, Granny Parker, a Harley-riding hypochondriac who loves to roller blade, was a hit with the kids. The Burnses, who are from Clemmons, seemed to have as much fun as the audience.

After the show, everyone ate a lunch of hot dogs with chili and potato salad. For dessert, they had ice cream. Gracy Holderfield, a fourth-grader at Overton, enjoyed lunch with her little brother Jack, her Mom and baby sister. Gracy has been coming to the American Legion holiday party for the past five years and always looks forward to it. When asked what was on her Christmas list this year, she didn’t hesitate: She threw her hair back and struck a pose. “Miley Cyrus hair!” she said, excitedly. “It is a wonderful thing that they do this for the kids,” Lisa Black said. Black stopped in and had lunch with her son Nicholas. A deaf student from Salisbury High School, Nicholas attended the party for the first time this year. Nicholas is hoping for a pool table or a ping pong table this holiday season. After lunch, it was time for what everyone was waiting. Santa had come to pay a visit and sat by the fireplace with a giant stack of presents under the tree. The children sat patiently around Santa’s feet waiting for their names to be called, all with big smiles on their faces. Legion volunteers had asked the children what they would like for Christmas long before the party, so they knew exactly what to buy. Richardson helped Santa hand out the gifts. Overton fourth-grader Kimberly Lillywhite sat and played with her new gui-

The agency said the facility reported on Wednesday that a staff member was exposed to 0.15 rem, the unit used to measure doses of radiation.

Costantino’s own face lit up when she looked over at Santa, who happens to be her husband Tommy. Tommy has been handing out gifts for the past four years at the American Legion’s party. After the gifts were all handed out, Eli Basinger sat with a big box of batteries and screwdrivers to make sure all the toys were in perfect working order. A few of the remote control cars were clunkers and need to be switched out for working models. Santa took pictures with everyone and, one by one, all the children headed back to school. In addition to their gifts, they received a gift bag of goodies, including an apple, orange, toys and candy. Everyone seemed to have a great time, including the volunteers, who appeared to have forgotten how worn out they were. The party was funded in part by post activities held throughout the year, including a chicken dinner and golf tournament. Sponsors included Lowe’s, Cloninger Ford, Ralph Ketner, Cheerwine and many others.

RALEIGH (AP) — A graduate who made a fortune hauling garbage is giving North Carolina State University its largest gift ever, $40 million. The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Friday that Lonnie C. Poole Jr. and his wife, Carol Johnson Poole, are giving the money to the school. Chancellor Randy Woodson says the gift is “transformative.” Poole is a graduate in civil engineering and founded Raleigh-based Waste Industries in 1970. N.C. State’s College of Management will get $37 million of the gift and will be named for him. Most of the rest of the money will be used to build a clubhouse at NC State’s new golf course at its Centennial Campus, which will be named for Carol Poole.

MORE INDEPENDENCE NEEDED

Reforming the SBI lab legislative panel looking at reforming the State Bureau of Investigation crime lab should realize that the best way to do that is to separate the lab from the SBI. For too many years, the lab has been plagued with problems, often stemming from its scientists getting too close to police and prosecutors. A recent audit ordered by Attorney General Roy Cooper, who oversees the lab, revealed lab analysts omitting, overstating or falsely reporting blood evidence in many cases. Part of the problem is that the SBI scientists are sworn law-enforcement officers. Forensic scientists shouldn’t wear badges. They should objectively process and produce forensic evidence for use by both police and prosecutors and defense attorneys and their private investigators, and should be equally accessible to both sides. The legislative-panel members hoping to restore confidence and breed professionalism at the SBI lab agreed about the need to improve its standards, the Associated Press reported, but not about whether the lab should come under another state agency. Many of the members of the committee, Forensic scientists which wants to shouldn’t wear make recommendations to the full badges. Legislature next month, “appeared to support changing the law to make it clear the State Bureau of Investigation's crime lab’s role is to promote criminal justice overall — not just to help prosecutors and police,” according to the AP. But changing the wording wouldn’t go far enough. The panel has some good ideas, such as changing state law to make clear that all data, calculations and writings related to lab tests on evidence should be made available to a defendant during the discovery process; allowing other accreditation agencies to certify labs that perform forensic work for the state; and further study on how to improve training of lab workers. ... But Rep. Mickey Michaux, D-Durham, worried that the perception that the lab is biased toward law-enforcement officers won’t be erased until the lab is separated from state investigators. “I still have in the back of my mind that there ought to be some real independence set up in this laboratory,” Michaux told the AP. We concur. Put the lab under the Administrative Office of the Courts, the state Medical Examiner’s Office or another state agency. And above all, let’s finally let justice be served.

Common sense

(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)

Cats are intended to teach us that not everything in nature has a purpose. — Garrison Keillor

Moderately confused

ight now, if you are anything like me (and for your sake, I hope you aren’t), you may be wondering what to give that special someone for Christmas. Especially if you’re on a budget (who isn’t?) and pressed for time (aren’t we all?) and you can’t quite remember what you gave them last year, let alone if they even liked it. The only SHARON thing worse RANDALL than giving an unwanted gift once is to give it twice to the same person. Take my word for it. “Once” says you didn’t know the person quite as well as you thought you did. “Twice” says you shouldn’t be allowed to drive. Even harder than knowing what to give is knowing what to ask for in return. I don’t like to tell people what to give me for Christmas. I figure, if they want to give me a gift, they shouldn’t have to ask what I want. They should just give me something they want me to have. Even if I don’t want it. I have tried, with limited success, to use the same approach when shopping for the names on my gift list. Unfortunately, what I want them to have isn’t always something they want. Or can use. Or have any idea what possessed me to give it to them. But I try. Sometimes I get it right. Occasionally, I score big. Take my sister’s last birthday. She’s a huge Elvis fan. Over the years, I’ve given her Elvis CDs, Elvis movies, Elvis pretty-muchyou-name-it. For her last birthday, just to be different, I gave her a life-sized, cardboard cutout of Elvis. She keeps him in the living room by the TV in front of the shelves with family photos. That was it. I decided I cannot do another Elvis gift, certainly not one that would ever top that. Besides, her house is starting to look like an Elvis shrine. I had to think of something new. Finally I came up with a plan — a pretty smart one, if I do say so myself — the perfect gift for “someone who has everything.” It works for any size, any age, any budget, and you don’t even need to gift-wrap it. It’s easy. Just take a piece of paper and write five (or more) things you’d like to tell someone. For my sister, for example, I call it “Five of Forty Billion Things I Know and Love about You.” 1. A memory: I will always remember when we were little girls, how you made me feel safe when I was scared, and told me everything would be all right. And I will never forget, after we were grown, how you once tried to shoot me with a real gun, just because I poured a Diet Pepsi down your pants. 2. Something you do that I greatly admire: You take our blind brother out to eat every week at his favorite restaurant. Then you sneak food off his plate to hurry him along. 3. Something you do that drives me crazy: You make me wait in the car for hours while you cruise the aisles at Walmart. And you keep the radio locked on the Elvis channel. 4. Why I like being with you and miss you when I’m not: You listen to what I say, even if I’ve said it before. You know things about me no one else knows and say what I need to hear, even if I don’t want to hear it. You make me laugh way down in my belly. 5. What I would give you this Christmas, if I could give you anything: A magic mirror to see yourself the way that I see you. Frequent trips to visit me in Las Vegas, with stopovers at Graceland. And a real-live version of that cardboard cutout. That’s the list I’ll give my sister for Christmas. Maybe someone will give it to me, too. Feel free to use it, if you like, or ask someone to give it to you. And may all your Christmas wishes come true. • • • Contact Sharon Randall at www.sharonrandall.com.

Bullet Bob was one of a kind Hall of Famer Feller had role in Legion series BY TERRY JULIAN For the Salisbury Post

n August of 2009, I met Bob Feller for my first and only time. He was part of the American Legion Baseball World Series in which Rowan County was a participant at Fargo, N.D. He signed autographs, told stories and to the wonderment of Rowan County fans threw out the first pitch of our boys’ initial game. The typical routine is a soft lob to the catcher from well in front of the pitcher’s mound, a hand shade and half-hearted applause from the audience. Not Bob’s style, even at age 90. He climbed to the pitching rubber, stared down the full 60 feet-6 inches toward our Rowan catcher, Austin Shull, managed a fair approximation of the windup and kick that had terrified some of baseball’s greatest hitters — and threw a perfect strike. He then took the time to walk in and talk with Shull while many photos were taken by reporters, fans and parents. I wondered at the time if Shull or the other Legion players realized what they had been blessed with. Here was the man who many, including Ted Williams, said was the greatest pitcher they ever saw. He threw a baseball by all accounts faster than any man who ever lived. Set a strike-out record as a lad of 17 and then went back home to graduate from high school. He signed up to enter the military on Dec.r 9, 1941, and missed four prime years as he served his country. He was the pitcher on the mound when St. Louis Cardinal All Star Pepper Martin took the first two pitches for strikes and then told the umpire when he called strike three, “I don’t know about you but that last pitch sounded low!” He was the first American Legion player to be elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962, and he is the only chief petty officer in the Baseball Hall of Fame. I had a chance to speak to Mr. Feller that day. I asked him what he considered his greatest win of all time. Thinking he would tell me about one of his three no-hitters or 12 one-hitters that he threw for the Cleveland Indians, I was caught off guard when, without blinking, he replied,

LETTERS A Christmas wish for equal treatment Dear Santa: What I want for Christmas cannot be created at the North Pole or bought at a store or online. As an honorably discharged Army veteran and a tax-paying, flag-flying defender of freedom, all I want for Christmas is equality. To be given the same rights as my fellow Americans. You see, there has been a pending bill that would make discrimination against LGBT folk illegal — it is generally referred to as ENDA. While it started strong, it seems to have lingered. During that time, a gay man has had to try to resort to a lawsuit in a Southern state because he was fired simply for being gay. He is a law enforcement officer, and a good one. Since he can be fired for that reason, I worry he may not get his job back. I think judging an individual on their competency in the job makes us a much stronger nation than simply making decisions on prejudice, currently not protected by law. That brings me to DADT (“Don’t ask, don’t tell”). LGBT Americans are already honorably serving their nation and giving their lives for their country. Nothing would change for straight soldiers, so I don’t see the issue. But how great if the gay soldiers in a foxhole in Afghanistan could finally acknowledge their “spouse” back in Kentucky, as the straight soldiers discuss their loved ones. It is a shame while the other soldiers discuss their loved ones in the heat of battle, the LGBT sol-

The same rights as marriage for other Americans — wow! That would be the ultimate gift. The legal savings, the nights I spend worrying, the thousand-plus advantages it would offer — Santa, if you can deliver this as well, it would be the best Christmas ever! — Rod Goins Salisbury

Educating soldiers Our servicemen and women risk their lives to defend our freedom. The least we can do is provide them with the respect and encouragement they deserve. In 1944, Congress passed the GI Bill and enabled a generation of young World War II veterans to pursue a college education and live the American Dream. Today’s version of the GI Bill can do the same for our brave soldiers returning home from Iraq and Afghanistan. Unfortunately, the Department of Education is considering a regulation that will make it harder for military students to enroll in important career college programs. Our soldiers deserve

the opportunity to attend the school of their choice. For years career colleges have led the way in providing flexible and innovative programs that prepare military students for the competitive job market. Career colleges offer veterans and servicemembers the no-nonsense, career-specific education they are looking for. I stand with military students pursuing career colleges. It’s our duty to make sure their education choice is protected. — Dolores Spry Mocksville

Words of wisdom Rich and poor have this in common. The Lord is the maker of them all. A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it. Humility and the fear of the Lord bring wealth and honor and life. Submit to God and be at peace with him; this way, prosperity will come to you. Accept instructions from his mouth and lay up his words in your heart. If you return to the Lord almighty, you will be restored, if you remove wickedness from your tent (heart). Proverbs 22:2-4. — Alma Johnson Salisbury

Obama signs tax bill that will spread holiday cheer to many WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama signed into law a huge, holiday-season tax bill extending cuts for all Americans on Friday, saluting a new spirit of political compromise as Republicans applauded and liberals seethed. The benefits range from tax cuts for millionaires and the middle class to longer-term help for the jobless. The most significant tax legislation in nearly a decade will avert big increases that would have hit millions of people starting in two weeks on New Year’s Day. Declared Obama: “We are here with some good news for the American people this holiday season.” “This is progress and that’s what they sent us here to achieve,” Obama said as a rare bipartisan assembly of lawmakers looked on at the White House. The package retains Bushera tax rates for all taxpayers, including the wealthiest Americans, a provision Obama and congressional liberals opposed. It also offers 13 months of extended benefits

Surgery scheduled for NC transportation secretary RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina’s transportation secretary could be out of his office for several weeks following scheduled surgery. The agency says Secretary Gene Conti will have surgery on Monday at Duke Medical Center. Conti expects a speedy recovery, but it could take weeks. Agency spokeswoman Greer Beaty declined to say Friday why Conti is having the surgery. In his absence, Chief Operating Officer Jim Trogdon will take over the secretary’s responsibilities. Before his appointment to Gov. Beverly Perdue’s cabinet, the 63-year-old Conti served as the second-highest ranking transportation official in Gov. Mike Easley’s administration between 2001 and 2003.

Coast Guard rescues infant from ship off coast ELIZABETH CITY (AP) — A Coast Guard helicopter has taken an ailing infant and her mother off a cruise ship in nasty weather south of Cape Lookout. The Coast Guard said the evacuation occurred Friday morning after a call came from the cruise ship Norwegian Gem. A 16-month-old infant was suffering from respiratory problems. A helicopter crew was sent from Elizabeth City to bring the baby and her mother to New Hanover Regional Hospital in Wilmington. Lt. Cmdr. Todd Bloch was the commanding pilot of the mission. He says there were high winds, heavy rain and snow around the ship, which was about 245 miles south of Cape Lookout. The infant was brought safely to the hospital and is recovering.

to the unemployed and attempts to stimulate the economy with a Social Security payroll tax cut for all workers. At a cost of $858 billion over two years, the deal contains provisions dear to both Democrats and Republicans. It represents the most money that Obama was likely to have been able to dedicate over the next year to the slowly recovering economy. Yet it also increases the federal deficit at a time when the country is growing increasingly anxious about the red ink. Obama conceded that the White House and Congress face a difficult challenge when it comes to controlling the deficit and tackling the nation’s debt. “In some ways this was easier than some of the tougher choices we’re going to have to make next year,” he said. Conspicuous by their absence at the ceremony were House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., a reflection of the sharply divided sentiment about the bill in the Democratic caucus.

People who want books signed must purchase wristbands, which will be available Saturday at the library. Officials say those who wish to attend must purchase one copy of each book to receive a wristband.

Agency wins grant to prevent mad cow disease RALEIGH (AP) — There’s never been a confirmed case of mad cow disease in North Carolina, and state officials have won a $1.25 million grant to help keep it that way. The state Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services said Friday that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has awarded the money over a five-year period. Dan Ragan directs the department’s Food and Drug Protection Division and says the funding will go to laboratory testing and monitoring of companies that make animal feed. Mad cow disease spreads when cattle are given feed that contains parts of the brain or spinal cord of other cattle that had the illness. It can also affect sheep and other animals.

Woman accused of giving children cocaine, pot HENDERSONVILLE (AP) — A Henderson County woman has been arrested and accused of giving her young children cocaine, marijuana and other narcotics. Multiple media outlets reported that detectives arrested 31-year-old Tracy Leigh Delozier and charged her with child abuse, possession with intent to sell marijuana, possession of marijuana and maintaining a home to keep or sell controlled substances. Deputies say she gave the drugs to the children, ages 2 and 9. Delozier was awaiting a hearing in court in Hendersonville. It was unclear if she has an attorney. Sheriff’s Capt. Jerry Rice said the Department of Social Services is handling the children’s care, but said he could not elaborate because of state privacy laws. The new communications center has been in the works for about four years, Poole said. Funding finally became available in recent months to build the new center. Part of the money comes from the sale of assets seized from drug dealers, Poole said. “The telecom center is our lifeline,” Poole said. “This is going to be a win-win for our troopers and all those we work with day to day.” Contact Hugh Fisher via the editor’s desk at 704-7974244.

Light a single candle

Ringing in a season of giving

“To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.” – Buddha

Some thoughts on a symbol of Christmas: The Salvation Army bell KANNAPOLIS – I don’t remember going Christmas shopping with my parents until I was about 7. And even then, the memories are indistinct: a few gifts here and there, like the railroad set my brother was to get, which I was ordered not to mention and accidentally did anyway. But there is one memory that transcends the others for me, as I am sure it does for millions: the ringing of a little brass bell, reminding people on their way to get gifts for others to give something to the Salvation Army. This year, when the opportunity arose, I decided it was time to do more than drop a few dollars at a time into that kettle. I volunteered to ring the HUGH Salvation Army bell on two FISHER separate days recently, at Bi-Lo on South Cannon Boulevard. It’s a simple thing, really: no in-depth training required. You just do what’s supposed to come naturally at Christmastime. Smile. Be of good cheer. And make a joyful noise. “It seems like, even being as cold as some of the days we’ve had so far, the joy of just being out there far outweighs the chilly weather,” said Sgt. Terry Hertzog. He’s a corps administrator for the Salvation Army, one of the group’s employees working in Cabarrus and Stanly counties. That was certainly true on the days that I was there. The thought of standing for an hour in winter weather, in the shade, with a breeze whipping by might not seem like “fun” for many. For me, the time flew by. When I was a child, dropping a dollar into the Salvation Army kettle was a part of being out and about at Christmastime. Now, on the other side of childhood, I got to smile back and say “thank you!” and “merry Christmas!” to the kids who, like me, got to experience a part of the true meaning of Christmas. It’s a rewarding experience that many make a part of their holiday traditions. Rod Armstrong rings the bell on behalf of three different groups each year – the Kannapolis Rotary Club, the Cannon Memorial YMCA’s Mott Club and the men’s fellowship of First Baptist Church of Kannapolis. He stood outside Bi-Lo wearing a Santa Claus hat as he rang the bell. “It adds a little Christmas cheer,” Armstrong said. “Sort of gets you into the spirit of things.” He said he rings the bell because he’s done his homework on the Salvation Army and knows that it has very low overhead for a charity group. “I have confidence that the money gets to where it’s needed most,” he said. Hertzog said that the Salvation Army tries to recruit as many volunteer bellringers as possible to keep those costs low. Sometimes, however, there aren’t enough, and paid employees are brought on board. They respond to ads in the newspapers. Hertzog said that there’s a screening process – “We don’t put just anybody and everybody out there,” he said. Bellringers are paid $7.50 an hour, but generally double or triple their wages in donations during their shifts. “It’s hard to go totally volunteer,” Hertzog said. Even reaching out to service clubs and community groups early in the year can’t fill in all the blocks in the schedule when the kettles are out for donations.

“We love the volunteers, we appreciate everything they do for us. We’d like to have more of them,” Hertzog said. I never knew until I got involved as a volunteer that the Salvation Army paid some of its bellringers. My consolation is knowing that, with high unemployment rates, the money going back out into the community is helping those who might otherwise be dependent upon charities for survival. And that’s the true meaning of this campaign. Since the early 1900s, the Salvation Army kettle has turned donations into food, toys and support for the needy at Christmastime. The coins and bills dropped into the kettles today go to toys, gift cards and other assistance for holiday ministries, with a small portion going to administrative costs, Hertzog said. “We’re down a little bit from this time last year,” he said. But there are still many days left to go ‘til Christmas. Go online and you’ll find stories of miraculous gifts that have turned up in Salvation Army kettles: gold coins, jewelry, the occasional check for a large donation. Hertzog’s stories are simpler and more heartwarming than this. He’s been a Salvation Army officer since 1997, and he said the biggest reward of working with kettle volunteers has been the people he’s met and helped. “Even after the Christmas season, they just talk about how enjoyable it was. They didn’t know it was going to be anything like that.” Hertzog brought a man named John on board as a bellringer in Kentucky some years ago. He described John as “a wanderer,” a man without a home. “The [Salvation] Army not only changed his life, but he changed others’ lives,” Hertzog said. John went on to manage one of the charity’s shelters. He passed away recently, but his memory lives on in the lives he touched. All because of that kettle of donations and a little brass bell. The kettles bring back more than just memories of Christmases past, Hertzog said. Older men fondly remember the Salvation Army “Doughnut Girls” who served refreshments — not just doughnuts, but other treats — to soldiers overseas, starting in

Older men fondly remember the Salvation Army “Doughnut Girls” who served refreshments — not just doughnuts, but other treats — to soldiers overseas, starting in World War I.

World War I. “Those soldiers never, never forgot that. We still hear those stories,” Hertzog said. The most touching moment for me was when a man walked up to the kettle I was helping to man and dropped a donation in. He then leaned in to speak to me and my companion and said: “You were there for us when we needed you. I always try to give something back. Thank you.” I can’t take credit for that. I wasn’t there. But someone dropped those dollars in the kettle that helped his family through whatever hardships they were facing. “You hear some amazing stories from the individuals who come up to you,” Hertzog said. One of my fellow volunteers, Randy Long of Kannapolis, said he rings the bell because it’s something that he can do in his day-today life to help those less fortunate. “This is my fourth year, I believe,” Long said. “It’s a way to do something for people in our community.” This Christmas, I urge you to take the time to learn about charities and to give, if not to the Salvation Army, then to whatever organization your conscience leads you to support. But if you have the time, I would invite you to do as I did and spend an hour, or more, standing up for those less fortunate, and ringing this bell. You will see the lesson that I wish we all could remember at Christmastime, among the rush and the noise and the music and the food: No matter the age, skin color, background or creed, there are many hundreds of people in our world who are doing good for others. These may be trying times, and there may be more people than ever in need. But many people who have been blessed are sharing those blessings with others. And the joy that those gifts bring is so great, there aren’t enough bells in Rowan and Cabarrus counties to ring to express that joy and gratitude.

Regardless of your personal belief, December is a spiritual month. Hindus actually jump-started the season in November with Diwali, the festival of lights. Last week, Jews celebrated Hanukkah, the eight-day miracle of lights; Muslims observed Al-Hijra, RONNIE the new year; BRYANT and Japanese Buddhists commemorated Bodhi Day when Buddha experienced enlightenment. This Thursday, Muslims mark Ashura, the day Noah left the Ark and God rescued Moses from the Egyptians, and Shi’a Muslims remember the martyrdom of the Prophet Mohammad’s grandson. For Christians, the season of Advent is well underway, culminating in Christmas Day. It is no coincidence that people throughout the world light candles of hope and celebration in the darkest days of the year. For each of the world’s major religions, and for many agnostics and atheists, too, this is the time to reflect on one’s relationship to a higher power, however we define that, or with our fellow humans. It is a personal, spiritual time. We all know this; our houses of worship preach this. Yet, the decorating, rounds of parties and last-minute shopping (while trying to wrap up projects at work) sometimes leave us emotionally and physically spent when the big day arrives. Add to this the unrealistic expectations of a Norman Rockwell gathering, when no one – no one – has a Norman Rockwell family. For our neighbors without jobs or experiencing loss or illness, for those worried about keeping their homes or who may not have one, there’s a disconnect between their realities and the images and sounds they see and hear. So, let’s try something different this year – and you may already be doing this. Let’s dial it down a notch. In addition to focusing on our blood families, focus on the family of man. Instead of serving your family seconds of turkey, dish up firsts in a soup kitchen. Instead of standing in the return line at the mall, return the holiday spirit to those standing in line at a shelter. Instead of buying another Xbox game for your child, box an Xtra large sweater for someone on an angel tree (remember, adults need things, too). Remember, “There, but for the grace of God, go I.” And that’s true 365 days a year. The need doesn’t go away when the old year does. If you don’t know how to help, Sharing the Season is one way to start. (Simply do a Google search with the terms “Sharing the Season” and “Salisbury” and you will find several articles with a list of agencies and their needs.) Give your time, donate items or write a check – throughout the year. We take pride in our region’s quality of life, but all lives must have quality – and dignity. Let’s not limit the “holiday spirit” to the holidays. Light the candle of hope throughout the year. Ronnie L. Bryant is president and CEO of the Charlotte Regional Partnership, a nonprofit, public-private economic development organization that serves the Charlotte region, including Rowan County.

Thoughts on an empty manger and finding ‘Baby God Jesus’ I

It has become a game between the older ones (a 5year old, two 4-year-olds, a 3-year old, a 2-year old, and a 1-year old) to see who can keep Baby Jesus with them. I need to add that this particular Baby Jesus is about one inch long and is very easy to hide in their little hands. It is not difficult to imagine what happens throughout the night of this birthday party. Throughout dinner, birthday cake and opening presents, Baby Jesus goes from one set of little hands to another. A great smile and sense of accomplishment spreads on the face of whoever has Baby Jesus at the time. However, there is one grandchild who feels that Baby Jesus belongs with her at all times and whenever she retrieves him from one of her cousins she quickly “hides” him under a chair or in a play pocketbook that she will guard at all costs. Well, the party is over and everyone goes home.

A huge smile spread across her face, her eyes lit up, and she came running to me and stated, “I FOUND him, I found Baby God Jesus! He was right where I left him!” She ran straight to the manger and placed him in his straw crib. It wasn’t long until he was back in her tiny hands because she likes him close to her. Through a child comes the greatest message of this season: At Christmas we focus on a Baby Jesus. But even at his birth He was GOD and even if we cannot see him, he is in the house. He is everywhere. And yes, we all need to be close to him every day. He is so easy to find.... He is right where we left him. So I guess our question to you is, “Have you found BABY GOD JESUS this Christmas?”

God Jesus. Could they help us find him? No one knew his location. So, we looked again. But nothing. We left to do an errand and on the way back home she asked again if I could help her find Baby God Jesus when we returned and then she fell asleep. I brought her in the house and as she continued to sleep, I searched again and FOUND BABY GOD JESUS! He had been there all the time, out in the open, in a place that we just did not think he would be. I did not move him as I wanted her to find him on her own. So, when she woke up, I told her that Baby God Jesus was in the house and directed her to the room where he was residing. She went quickly to the room and looked and quickly gave up. I told her to look closer and she WOULD find him. She looked again, walked around the coffee table and there, behind a plant was BABY GOD JESUS!

I tell her that we will look again later but she cannot let it go. She goes to each room again and looks in all of her hiding places. Now, just a note, we have always referred to the manger scene and told the story of Christmas and always referred to Jesus as “Baby Jesus.” This granddaughter so accurately calls Him “Baby God Jesus”! She walks back into the kitchen with her head hung low and stands beside me. With those beautiful green eyes, she looks up and with a little tear in her eye, she tells me, “I can’t find him. Grammie, can you help me find Baby God Jesus? We have to find him.” Lifting her up into my arms I explain that we have looked everywhere and maybe one of the other children put him somewhere that we were not thinking about. So, we put out an APB (All Points Bulletin) to all of the mommies and daddies at work for our missing Baby

While cleaning up and placing the manger scene back together, I am unable to locate Baby Jesus. I’m tired from the events of the day and feel that he will be found on Monday when the grandchildren return on Monday morning. I know that they will know where he has been “hidden.” On Monday morning, two of the grandchildren arrive for the day and the one who feels that Baby Jesus belongs to her goes running over to the manger scene and is immediately looking for him. Saying nothing, she goes from one room to another in a search for Baby Jesus. I smile as I know my plan is working and she will locate him. However, she cannot find him and comes running up with a very worried look. “Grammie, I can’t find Baby God Jesus! Will you help me find him?” she says. So, the intense search begins and we look everywhere and can not find him.

t is two weeks before Christmas and we are having a birthday party for one of our granddaughters. The house fills up quickly with our three children and their wives and husband and a total of eight grandchildren ranging from 5 years old to 3 months old and my 96year old mother. Wow, PATTI we have an HARTNESS awesome family and it is loud! During the holidays we love to decorate and the children’s favorite decoration is a nativity scene that these 80 little fingers can play with and touch. Their favorite person in the nativity is Baby Jesus. Now, as we all know, there's only one Baby Jesus and there are many little ones vying for his possession!

Should I go to an OB/GYN for a proper exam or do you agree with him? Dear reader: I don’t know what you had done as part of your annual exam or what it cost, but it appears to me some things might have been left out. He didn’t perform a breast exam. Did he check your blood pressure, do an EKG, listen to your heart, talk about the importance of a colonoscopy in the near future, coordinate possible necessary lab work or X-rays and ask relevant questions about your past medical history? Pap tests and pelvic exams are an important part of an examination for women because they can detect cancer and other abnormalities that could lead to cancer of the cervix. If abnormalities can be detected early, they can be treated earlier, before cancer has had time to develop. Of the 55 million PAP tests performed every year in the United States, approximately 3.5 million of them are abnormal and require follow-up. While not all testing is accurate, false positives (as well as false negatives) can be reported. About half of the false negative reports are because of inadequate specimen collection. The other half occurs because of misinterpretation on the part of the individual examining the specimen. Newer methods being instituted have made it easier to collect and analyze. Digital rectal exams are done to check for potential problems in the pelvic area, uterus, ovaries, lower abdomen, vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain and more. As a guideline (and there is

no hard and fast rule), women between the ages of 40 and 65 should have their blood pressure checked every one to two years; cholesterol levels checked every five years; an annual dental exam; eye exam every two years; physical exam between one and five years; self-breast exams monthly with exam by a health care provider annually; mammograms every one to two years; PAP smear (according to the National Cancer Institute) every two to three years; and a rectal during gynecological examinations. If a woman has undergone a complete hysterectomy, she will not need a PAP unless the reason for the procedure involved cancer or pre-cancer; and a pelvic every two years unless extenuating circumstances enter the picture for closer follow-up on any of the above conditions. Recommendations have been modified. Some people may look on this fact as favorable, while others are concerned because of potential consequences for waiting. If you feel strongly that you want specific testing performed and your physician has voted against it, the answer is to find a gynecologist who is willing to do what you want — even if this means paying out of pocket. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online.

My first deal this week was easy to solve for anyone used to checking the high-card points. Here is another. Look at only the North and South hands. You are the declarer in three no-trump. West, who opened the bidding in spades, leads the queen. What is your plan? With 14 high-card points opposite a partner who overcalled at the two-level, your jump to three no-trump was eminently sensible. If the contract proves to have no chance, you will probably be asking partner, after seeing his dummy, what happened to the hand he held during the auction! You have only five top tricks: two spades and three

diamonds. You can get three more winners from hearts and at least one from clubs, but the order and way in which you play these suits is critical. Next, check those points.

Dummy has 13 and you have 14. That leaves only 13 for the opponents, so West must have both rounded-suit aces. Suppose you play a heart at trick two. West will grab his ace and return a spade, driving out your second stopper. Then, when you lead a club, he will take his second ace and run spades for down one. You must get in a club trick before touching hearts. However, if you lead the club queen from your hand, West can win with his ace with effect. Instead, lead your low club. How can West defend? If he ducks his ace, you win with dummy’s king and shift to hearts. Or, if West takes his ace and plays a spade, you win, cash your club queen, and (when they break 3-2) claim 10 tricks: two spades, three diamonds and five clubs.

Dear Dr. Gott: I’m a 49-yearold female. I have given birth to three children ages 19 to 24. There is no known history of ovarian or breast cancer in my family. My brother and I both had our thyroid glands removed due to cancerous tumors. the last DR. PETER 25 For years, I GOTT have had annual PAP smears and vaginal/anal exams, with great results. Last month I went to my internist for an annual physical. This was the fourth year I have seen him. He’s done my gynecological exams and PAPs. This year he said that regulations have changed and because I have had three successive normal PAPs, I do not need one for three more years. I questioned whether this was due to new research or new regulations. He said “new regulations.” I told him I wanted one anyway. My insurance will pay, and I’m not concerned about the cost if the procedure isn’t covered. I am concerned about cancer. So he had me undress and put on a gown. When he came back to the exam room he pulled up the “regulation” on his computer to show me, saying there was no need to do the exam. I was dumbfounded and agreed. My research has told me that passing on the PAP is OK but that I should have a vaginal and anal exam to look for ovarian cancer, which he did not do. Nor did he do a breast exam. He just told me that I should perform self breast exams.

Wintry weather persists in the Western US on Saturday and cool conditions continue in the East. A low pressure system spinning in the North Pacific Ocean continues pushing a cold front over the West Coast and into the Intermountain West. This will continue triggering widespread rain showers with high elevation snow showers spreading from the Sierras, into the Cascades and Great Basin. The Sierras will see up to a foot of snow above 7,000 feet, while the Cascades may see up to 6 inches of snow to the valley floors. Nevada and Utah will see an increasing chance of snow showers throughout the day as the front approaches. Expect gusts up to 35 mph along this front and at high mountain passes. Rainfall totals at lower levels of California, Oregon, and Washington will range from a quarter of an inch to an inch. In the Central US, a strong ridge of high pressure dominates the weather and continues pulling in cold air from Canada. This will allow for another chilly day with a few patchy clouds, but precipitation is not anticipated. The Northern Plains will see another day in the teens, while the Southern Plains will remain in the 50s. Further East, a cold front over the Gulf states will start to pull eastward and away from the Gulf. However, scattered rain showers will persist as the system moves into the Carolinas. Expect rainfall totals reaching near an inch as the system pulls moisture in from both the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean. In the North, expect another day of lake effect snow showers over the Great Lakes. Snowfall amounts will be lower than the past few days.

Call him Special K Keshun explodes for 35 BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com

CHINA GROVE — Carson boys coach W. Rowan 73 Brian Perry Carson 58 wrote three keys to victory on the board prior to Friday’s NPC game against visiting West Rowan and underlined them. Rebound the basketball. Handle the basketball. Don’t let Keshun kill us. The Cougars went 1-for-3. They handled the ball OK, but they got shoved around on the boards, and Keshun Sherrill couldn’t have killed the Cougars any more thoroughly if he’d brought hand grenades to the gym. Sherrill, a junior guard, scored 35 points, one fewer than his recent career-best outing at Davie, and led the Falcons to a 73-58 win. “We did a pretty terrible job on Keshun, but at the same time he’s one heck of a player,” Perry said. West coach Mike Gurley is adding football bodies to his rotation now, but he’s still waiting on key veterans Domonique Noble (Shrine Bowl) and B.J. Sherrill (concussion). “I think I’m starting to see the path I wanna try, the road I want to go down with this team,” said Gurley, who is in his 14th season in Mount Ulla. “But, at the same time, we’re still trying to figure out who we are. We were fortunate to get out of here with a win, fortunate Carson was undermanned.” “Undermanned” is putting it mildly. Devon Heggins, a scoring point guard who put up 23 points in an outing earlier this season, didn’t play at all. Perry said Heggins’ DNP was a coach’s decision. Cody Clanton, who scored 30 in a game earlier this season, sat on the bench the second half in street clothes because of a back ailment. “When Cody tells you he’s not sure he can play, you know he’s really hurting, and that’s when you reach for the Peptojon c. lakey/sALisBUrY Post

West rowan’s Keshun sherrill soars for two of his 35 points as the Falcons beat carson and improved to 2-0 in the North Piedmont conference.

Man of Year: Brees

Driver of Year: Johnson BY BRETT MARTEL

By Brett Martel Associated Press NEW ORLEANS — Drew Brees has New Orleans swinging, singing and trumpeting their Saints like never before. When the Rebirth Brass Band tears it up during one of their late night shows at a funky old neighborhood bar, the tin-walled place bounces to a drum beat and a tuba’s bass line. Their song goes like this: “We used to say ‘Who dat’ since way back when / Now we’re saying ‘We dat’ every time we win / You can write it down, take a picture, tell a friend / We already done it. We’re gonna do it again.” Brees is a big reason New Orleanians can smile and boast. Not only did the reigning Super Bowl MVP turn around the Saints’ football fortunes and bring the city its first NFL championship in February, he’s become a civic leader as his adoptive home-

town recovers from a time of turmoil and suffering. That record of accomplishment is why the down-to-earth quarterback was voted the 2010 Male Athlete of the Year, chosen by members of The Associated Press. There were 176 ballots submitted from U.S. news organizations that make up the AP’s membership. Brees received 48 votes, while the 2009 AP Male Athlete of the Year, NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson, finished second with 31. Boxer Manny Pacquiao was third with 21 votes, followed by Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Roy Halladay with 17. Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick, a comeback story himself, rounded out the top five vote-getters with 10. The award was announced Friday. “I’ve always tried to visualize myself in that position of

CHARLOTTE — Five-time defending NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson beat out NHRA Funny Car champion John Force for the Driver of the Year award on Wednesday. It’s the fourth time Johnson has received the honor, tying him with Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jeff Gordon for most wins in the award’s 44-year history. “It’s an honor to win the award again,” Johnson said. “Among such tough competition, with the voting panel, who it is and how well versed they are in motorsports, it’s a huge, huge honor.” Journalists and broadcasters from across the country vote for Driver of the Year, which is eligible to any driver from any series that competes on four wheels in the United States. Past winners include Mario Andretti, Richard Petty, Darrell Waltrip, Dale

JIMMIE JOHNSON Earnhardt and Bobby Rahal. Johnson received 10 votes to beat Force, who received seven votes. NASCAR driver Kyle Busch received one vote. “This year’s pre-vote teleconference was one of the most spirited debates that I can recall,” said panelist president Barry Schmoyer. “As many people have said already, it will be a long time before anyone will set the bar as high as Jimmie Johnson.”

Catawba beats BA From staff reports

Dominick Reid scored 21 points to help lead Catawba to a 72-66 win over visiting Belmont Abbey in men’s basketball action on Friday afternoon at Goodman Gym. With the win, the Catawba Indians improve to 5-4, while the Crusaders fell to 4-4. Kyle Phillips paced Belmont Abbey with 26 points and nearly rallied the Crusaders to a win. He scored 17 in the second half and helped erase a 10-point Catawba edge. Catawba regrouped and regained the lead on a pair of free throws by Kelvin Drakeford with 6:43 remaining and went up for good on a jumper by Keon Moore at 61-60 with 6:01 to go. The Indians pushed the lead to seven before the Crusaders made one last run. Belmont Abbey trailed 69-62 with just under two minutes remaining, but got two free throws from Richard Barbee and a jumper from Phillips to draw within 69-66 with 1:12 left. Reid hit a key jumper with 38 seconds to go and Moore added a free throw with 20 seconds remaining for the final margin. Moore followed Reid with 16 points, while Kejuan Mayo pulled down nine rebounds. Reid added six boards and five assists. Barbee joined Phillips in double digits for the Crusaders with 20 points. Each had seven rebounds. Both teams shot 45 percent for the game and committed 14 turnovers. Belmont Abbey grabbed one more rebound. Catawba nailed five threepointers, all in the first half, while the Crusaders went 0-for-5 from behind the arc. The Indians made just 11-of-22 at the foul line.

Beyond LeBron

Bowls begin today

Non-LeBron moves paying off in East Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS— LeBron James joining the Miami Heat was the signature moment during the free-agent rush last summer. However, it wasn’t the only move that has shaken up the Eastern Conference standings early this season. While Miami added talent, glitz and glamour, the Chicago Bulls, New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers made acquisitions that might have received more attention most years, but were seemingly lost in the hoopla surrounding James’ televised choice to join Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. New York and Chicago tried desperately to land James, but they are doing fine without him. The Bulls wanted to improve on last season’s 41-41 finish, and added Utah’s Carlos Boozer, Kyle Korver and Ronnie Brewer. The Bulls entered Thursday with a 16-8 record. New York picked up free agent forward Amare Stoudemire and point guard Raymond Felton as part of an overhaul that brought 10 new players. The Knicks went 29-53 last season, but are 16-10. Indiana went 32-50 last season and did-

n’t have the salary cap room to pursue James. The Pacers, already boasting a young core featuring Danny Granger, Roy Hibbert and Brandon Rush, waited patiently before trading for point guard Darren Collison and veteran forward James Posey in a four-way swap that sent Troy Murphy to New Jersey. The Pacers are 11-13, but they have won at Miami and the Los Angeles Lakers, and would be a playoff team if the season ended. “Now, the East is really a totally different scenario with all the trades that happened,” Granger said. “It’s really wide open. I kind of like how it’s different than it has been in past years.” Chicago has won seven straight, with Boozer leading the way. The power forward missed the first month of the season with a broken hand, but he has averaged 17.6 points and 8.4 rebounds since his return. Boozer had 22 points and 18 rebounds Monday against Indiana, and 34 points and 12 rebounds Wednesday against Toronto. Korver is averaging 10 points and shooting 42 percent from 3-point range and Brewer is adding six points per game and shooting 53 percent from the field. Rose averages 24 points and 8.4 re-

They never expected the Hawks’ best player to return to the lineup only 21⁄2 weeks after elbow surgery. Turns out, he wasn’t kidding. Making a remarkably fast recovery from an operation on his shooting elbow, Johnson scored 16 points and sparked Atlanta to a 90-85 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats on Friday night, a much-needed win for a team that had lost three of four. Johnson, wearing a thick, white sleeve on his right arm, struggled a bit with his shooting touch — not surprising given he went under the knife Dec. 2 to remove loose cartilage from his elbow. But his return clearly inspired the

Williams and Al Horford scored 16 points, as well, and they teamed up on the biggest play of the game. With the Hawks clinging to an 82-79 edge and the 24second clock winding down, Horford wound up with the ball at the top of the key, looking around desperately for an open man. He spotted Williams underneath, feeding him the pass for an easy layin with one second left.

Cowboys’ QB gets engaged

van McNabb. Again. And this time, it's from the opening kickoff. The Redskins plan to start Grossman on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys, benching a six-time Pro Bowl quarterback billed as the next John Elway when he came to the franchise in April. Shanahan said he informed McNabb of the move Thursday after practice, adding he wasn't sure that McNabb would be on the roster next year. The move was made because Shanahan wants to evaluate the other quarterbacks now that the Redskins have been eliminated from the playoffs. McNabb will drop to third string for the final two games, with John Beck serving as backup. SIDELINE RULES NEW YORK — The NFL sent a letter to the 32 teams Thursday reminding them of

Crawford works as a sports reporter for KDAF-TV in Dallas. The station reports that the 30-year-old player proposed to Crawford while the couple were celebrating her 24th birthday at a Dallas restaurant Thursday.

The place Brees finds himself now is even more remarkable when you consider that he came to New Orleans having been unceremoniously discarded by the San Diego

the rules and restrictions for the bench area and sidelines. Ray Anderson, the league's executive vice president for football operations, emphasized the responsibilities placed on each team to appoint a "get-back coach" to ensure that players, coaches and other staff are in compliance with league rules. The letter was sent in the wake of New York Jets strength and conditioning coach Sal Alosi being suspended indefinitely and fined $25,000 by the team for sticking out his knee and tripping Miami's Nolan Carroll in Sunday's game. Alosi subsequently acknowledged he told five inactive players to stand next to each other for a punt return, during which he tripped Carroll.

Chargers after a career-threatening injury to his throwing shoulder. New Orleans was at its nadir in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the Saints needed a lift and their new, undersized quarterback was looking for a second chance. Brees embraces the chance to talk about those moments, because in his mind, they are linked with the success that followed. “I believe that 100 percent. New Orleans is the last place I ever thought I’d be,” Brees said. “The Saints organization and team didn’t have that great a reputation prior to (2006) and so it was probably not the most attractive place for anybody to come. Then right after the storm, the city’s destroyed and everybody’s displaced and I look back on those times and it was like we were really starting over.” Nearly five years later, many are now familiar with how Brees rebuilt

"I never expected this," Bailey said. "Even the reversal of that, 10-3, I wouldn't have expected that, either. At the same time, I knew we were better than 3-10. Obviously, you are what your record says you are, and we're a 3-10 team trying to be 4-10."

his arm, his career, his team and even helped rebuild New Orleans through millions of dollars in charitable contributions. Since 2006, he has thrown for more yards (22,153) and touchdowns (150) than any NFL quarterback and in the process set club records in both categories. His 70.6 completion percentage in 2009 set a single-season NFL record. He took the Saints to their first NFC title game in his first season with the club and to a championship in his fourth with a 31-17 win over the Indianapolis Colts in Miami. Brees completed 32 of 39 passes for 288 yards and two TDs in the Super Bowl without an interception. Now the Saints are 10-3, hitting doubledigit wins for the third time in five seasons and in another playoff race. Brees deflects much of the credit for his prolific production to head coach Sean Payton, who believed in

The Broncos were embarrassed 59-14 in their first meeting with the Raiders on Oct. 24. With Oakland (6-7) still in the AFC West chase, the Broncos have a chance to deal the Raiders postseason aspirations quite a blow. "If they're playing for something, playoffs, whatever it may be, I want to spoil it. Period," Bailey said.

Brees like few others did, and who designed his offense to suit Brees’ strengths. Payton, however, is quick to assert that the signing of Brees was the single most important step toward building a Super Bowl champion. “It starts with his skill set,” said Payton, who calls the plays. “You’re a good play-caller when you have a good quarterback and I’ve been a bad play-caller before.” During the offseason, Brees wrote a book that made best-seller lists, he did the talk show circuit and appeared on the cover of the popular Madden video game. He is in elite company now, more famous and celebrated than ever, and busier than ever since the birth of his second son in October. Yet he’s retained his regular-guy appeal. “He’s a down-to-earth regular cat,” Rebirth saxophone player Vin-

cent Broussard said. “He doesn’t live too big.” Recently, Brees found time to drop by Lusher Charter School, a high school where athletic fields and the weight room were restored by his foundation, to give an impromptu pep talk to the team before its first playoff game. He still ventures into Audubon Park near his renovated, historic home, chatting with fans and posing for photos, even if it means pulling nearly 2-year-old son Baylen into the photo to avoid losing track of him. “I know that whenever I go out in public I’m fair game, and that’s fine,” Brees said. “I’m happy to take pictures with people and sign autographs and that kind of thing.” Teammates say success and fame haven’t changed Brees at all. “If anything it’s given him more opportunities to exhibit who he really is,” right tackle Jon Stinchcomb

Bismol,” Perry said. “He tried it in the first half, but he had no movement, no spring.” Carson (3-6, 1-2) got sharp efforts from sophomores Rik Heggins and Malachi Parker, who combined for 21 points. They helped make things interesting for a huge crowd Sherrill dominated early. When Perry called a timeout with West leading 18-8 after six minutes, Sherrill already had 14 points in the book. “Coach keeps encouraging me to shoot more,” said Sherrill, who is averaging 22.2 points a game. “But the biggest thing was we had a lot of football guys play well. One thing about West football players — they know how to win.” Jarvis Morgan was the most impressive of West’s football additions. He scored 10 points and hit the glass. West (2-5, 2-0) led 41-26 at halftime, but an eight-point, three-block third quarter by Rik Heggins helped the Cougars slice their deficit down to single digits. “It’s like we hit a wall in the third quarter and Carson became the aggressor,” Sherrill said. “But I tried to keep up the intensity up on defense and we picked it back up.” Sherrill had the toughest defensive assignment — Nick Houston. He did a nice job. Houston got only four of his

15 points in the second half. “Keshun was able to make some adjustments defensively on Houston because of his experience,” Gurley said. Carson trailed 59-53 with 5:31 remaining after Zach Wagner hit a 3-pointer, but Houston missed an open look that would’ve pulled the Cougars within three points. Sherrill then hit a free throw to push the lead to seven. He missed his second attempt at the line, but he sank a backbreaking layup after West kept the ball alive. After a pair of slick post moves by Kevin Turner, the Falcons had it wrapped up.

A southpaw, Steele made her patented spin move to her left. Phillips was right in the way and went crashing to the floor. “Hollywood!” screamed outraged West fans. Maybe. The bottom line was it was Steele’s fourth foul, and while West fought on ferociously behind Ayana Avery (21 points) and Nyceiko Dixon (four 3s), the Cougars never lost that lead.

The Falcons also stung the Cougars with an 11-0 burst in the second quarter. “I still thought we’d be OK,” Dulkoski said. “It was just a matter of staying calm and playing

our game.” Carson put up 26 points in the third quarter with Steele sitting. Phillips had eight of them. Steele returned in the fourth quarter and keyed a charge by the Falcons that fell just short. A 3pointer by Dixon cut Carson’s lead to 60-58, but two free throws by White started that 13-0 run by the Cougars.

East boys give valiant effort BY JORDAN HONEYCUTT sports@salisburypost.com

GRANITE QUARRY —A fiery, competitive bunch Statesville 69 of Mustangs fell E. Rowan 62 just a bit short at home last night in a 69-62 loss to Statesville. East (0-9, 0-3) played what head coach Trey Ledbetter called “their toughest, hardest fought game of the young season,” but just seemed to run out of gas late in the game. “Im really proud of how the guys are improving and we played 30 solid minutes of basketball, just let them get that big run on us in the third quarter and we couldn’t come back,” said Ledbetter. Statesville (5-2, 2-0) outscored East 18-8 in the third which turned out to be the difference in the contest.

The greyhounds lived up to their name in the third by getting numerous open threes and fast-break layups to do in the Mustangs. East got impressive efforts from both Avery Rogers who scored 22 points and Hakeem Gittens who had 17. Gittens was a garbage man all night as he recorded many athletic rebounds and put backs over a talented and athletic greyhound squad. A battle of tempos in the early going was leaning toward East as the Mustangs were able to spread the floor and keep the game at their favorable pace. “I am really happy with how these young guys are improving and working hard in practice to get better, which is all you can ask of a young team,” said Ledbetter. “We were not focused at all tonight and really didnt come to play

Raider boys fall to Moors BY DAVID SHAW dshaw@salisburypost.com

LANDIS — Of all the things that made Mooresville 90 Friday a S. Rowan 68 m i s e r a b l e night for South Rowan’s boys basketball team, Shawn Lester topped the list. The Mooresville junior burned the Raiders for 29 points in three quarters in a 90-68 non-conference victory. “We saw him a couple years ago as a freshman,” said South coach John Davis. “And he was pretty special then.” The 6-foot-3 guard is even better now — and he provided visual verification against the Raiders (2-6). Lester, who has already received scholarship offers from N.C. State, UNC-Charlotte and Duquense, knocked down six 3-pointers in the decisive second quarter. Strange as it sounds, he did it off the Mooresville bench. “He didn’t really play well in our last game (Thursday night against West Charlotte),” said winning coach Michael Micklow. “I just wanted to get him going a little bit.” South, which had previously lost five games by five points or less, made a game of it for a quarter-and-a-half. Sophomore forward Josh Medlin scored SR’s first nine points and gave the hosts a 97 lead when he hit a 10-foot jump shot from the left side with 3:35 remaining in the

first period. Then with five minutes left in the opening half he found a seam and made a layup that tied the score 24-24. “I was impressed with Medlin,” Davis said. “He kept us in the game.” Lester knocked the Raiders out of it. His 3-ball from the left side put Mooresville ahead for good and launched a 25-7 run. “We just couldn’t stop him,” said senior Jonathan Gaddy, South’s leading scorer with 21 points. “Once he passed the ball, we tried to deny him. But they kept finding him.” And Lester kept finding the bottom of the net. He buried three long balls in the final 1:29 of the first half —including a 25-footer at the buzzer that gave Mooresville a 47-31 halftime lead. “He’s got such a smooth stroke,” Micklow said. “When you can get rebounds like he did tonight, and make a bunch of steals, it just shows what a complete player he is. He makes us better.” Mooresville opened the second half with five straight layups and Lester’s sledgehammer jam, expanding its lead to 59-33. South responded with a rally of its own, fueled by Gaddy’s 10 third-quarter points. His last-minute layup trimmed the deficit to 68-53 after three periods. “I think we got it down to 11 and had a chance cut it some more but whiffed on a charge,” Davis lamented af-

early. You have to credit East though, they got us out of our game and I had to get on the kids at halftime to play our style, which is fast,” said Statesville coach Sonny Schofield. Schofield’s team must have heard their coach’s words loud and clear because they did look like a completely different team in the second half. Nick Shofield poured in 26 points, 18 of which came in the second half

to lead the hounds, while Josh Gaither added 17. Also coming up big for the Mustangs were Josh Gobble with 8 points and Jared Hough with 7. This game featured about everything including multiple fouls and loose balls and even a scoreboard malfunction or two. Those loose balls and foul calls were in the favor of the Mustangs in the first half as the home team actually led 35-34 at intermission. Statesville was able to slash to the basket almost a will on the Mustang “D” in the second half, and while East’s effort and hustle levels were up, they just couldn’t seem to get there in time to draw a charge. “That team is quick, the quickest we have seen so far, and I think our guys hustled and did the best they could to stay in front of them but you know its hard.”

“We just have to be more patient on offense and get our kinds of shots on offense instead of rushng up bad ones,” said Ledbetter. Coach Schofield also touched on his team’s effort levels from the game. “We did not play our type of defense tonight and we have so many things to work on if we are going to be a competitive team late in the season,” said Schofield. Things dont get any easier for coach Ledbetter’s young Mustangs as they host Salisbury next Wednesday. STATESVILLE (69) —Schofield 26, Gaither 17, Willis 9, Warren 9, Gill 8, Watlington, Tucker.

South girls lose to Mooresville BY DAVID SHAW dshaw@salisburypost.com

GADDY

LANDIS — The way coach Jarrod Smith figures it, one quarter may Mooresville 59 have cost South Rowan a S. Rowan 48 shot at beating visiting Mooresville on Friday. The second-year coach was fairly adept at analyzing the numbers after the Raiders suffered a 59-48 non-conference loss. “They outscored us by 12 points in the first quarter and we lost by 11,” Smith said after SR dropped to 3-5. “That’s the whole story right there. In the second, third and fourth quarters we outplayed them or played with them.” The Raiders committed 10 turnovers and fell behind 15-3 in the opening period. Their only basket was an early 3-pointer by senior Nicole Barringer — and it was their last for nearly nine minutes. “We let the game get away from us in the first quarter,” said SR forward Sam Goins. “They were outhustling us and we just weren’t clicking.” Mooresville’s rugged Zana Tatum was. The forward bumped and bruised her way inside for three layups and nine first-quarter points. The Blue Devils used a couple of different trap defenses and kept the pace uptempo throughout the first half. “Our half-court press and three-quarters press worked really good,” winning coach Melanie Allen said after Mooresville improved to 6-2. “I’ve got a quick bunch of girls. They always give people trouble.”

MEDLIN

terward. “They got a threepoint play out of it and the lead was back up to 14. Then we got within 12 and had another opportunity for a charge — and we got out of the way.” Using mostly reserves, Mooresville gradually padded its margin. When Christian Adams converted both ends of a one-and-one with 1:40 remaining, it was 84-65. “They just had too much talent,” Gaddy said. “It was frustrating in the end. It just shows that we have to work harder in practice.” Medlin finished with 18 points and senior Mark McDaniel had 13, giving South three scorers in double figures. Davis was also impressed with the defensive play of sophomore Nathan Lambert, who drew five charges. “Even with that, there were so many more that we could have taken,” Davis said. “That was a game-changer.” • NOTES: Lester has also drawn luke-warm interest from Clemson and South Carolina. ... South, 0-1 in the NPC, returns to conference play Tuesday at West Iredell.

South found more of it in the second quarter, when Courtney Smith’s set shot and Shanice Williams’ 3pointer gave the guests a 203 lead. “We played no defense,” said Barringer. “And we couldn’t rebound. They had way too many second and BARRINGER third shots.” Barringer’s shooting eye helped South stay close. She drained two more 3-balls in the second quarter, three more in the third and finished with a gamehigh 18 points. Mooresville held her scoreless in the final period, when it extended its lead to 59-38. The Raiders used a 10-0 finishing kick in the final two minutes to make it respectable. “I didn’t mind that at all,” said Allen. “I let everybody play in the end. I wanted my bench on the floor.” Smith insisted it was a one-quarter game. “Our defensive rotation was not very good,” he said. “We dug ourselves too deep a hole. That’s not our thing. We’re usually a good first-quarter team, and I talked to them about it before we came out. I guess I jinxed them.”

CHARLOTTE — Derrio Green scored 13 points, Charlotte 49 fed Phil Jones for Tennessee 48 the go-ahead layup with 7.4 seconds left and Charlotte handed No. 7 Tennessee its second stunning upset loss of the week, 49-48 on Friday night. Cameron Tatum missed a desperation heave at the buzzer for the Volunteers (7-2), who followed a blowout win over then-No. 3 Pittsburgh with losses to Oakland and Charlotte.

NORTH BOYS FroM 8c “If we get quick ball reversals, he’s either going to score or make it easy for somebody else,” Mitchell said. “We made it a focus that our post touched the ball.” The biggest play Hargrave made in the third quarter may have come on defense. After bulling inside for two buckets and a 37-28 lead, he drew a charge. That led to four free throws by Sam Starks and Malik Ford and it was 41-28 going into the fourth quarter. “That big body works every time,” Kimber grinned. West could get no closer than 11 in the fourth period because of so many balls clanging off the rim. “If you truly look at the stats,” King said, “we missed a lot of shots and didn’t hit free throws when we were supposed to.”

Jamar Briscoe scored 14 points and the 49ers (5-6) overcame 30 percent shooting by using a zone defense that stymied the Volunteers into 35 percent from the field. Tennessee was 2 of 17 from 3-point range and 2 of 7 on free throws in a loss that will surely see them plummet in the rankings. Scotty Hopson scored 13 points for Tennessee on 6-of-19 shooting. Tobias Harris added 12 points and 10 rebounds. Starving for something to cheer about amid a difficult season, Char-

Early on, Kimber was clearly the leader. In a 22-point first quarter, he dished out four assists and scored seven of his 13 points. Hargrave had 10 of his game-high 17. But defense took BOWMAN over and Robinson did not hit another 3. “We wanted to hold them to 45 points or less,” Mitchell said. Mission accomplished. In the fourth quarter, freshman Michael Bowman came through. The diaper dandy hit two big buckets and King finally emptied his bench. Afterward, King was already thinking about defense on Hargrave when the two teams meet in Mount Gilead later in the season. “We know Hargrave’s an outstanding player,” King said. “We knew he’d get his points. We tried to stop other players.” It didn’t work.

lotte fans spilled out onto the court at the buzzer in the first signature win for first-year coach Alan Major. It came just three days after top scorer Shamari Spears was dismissed from the team and following losses to Gardner-Webb, Coastal Carolina and East Carolina. Tennessee was searching for answers after struggling all night on offense, then being unable to hold onto a 48-42 lead. After Melvin Goins missed the front end of a 1-and-1 with 19.5 seconds left, Green raced into the front

court and found Jones open on a defensive breakdown. After a timeout, Tennessee couldn’t get a good look before time expired. Amid a night of missed shots, Green’s straightaway 3-pointer with 4:10 left put Charlotte ahead 42-41. But Hopson, who was 3-of-16 from the field, responded with his first 3, a runner in the lane and twisting layup in traffic on the next three possessions. Hopson pounded his chest on the way down the floor after the last hoop put Tennessee ahead 48-42.

“We’ll have to re-think our gameplan next time we play them,” King said. He better hope the three legends don’t make the trip. Those three and Hargrave make an unbeatable combination. • NOTES: Mitchell said he invited his former coach, Hundley, to sit on the bench but Hundley politely declined. ... If King’s name sounds familiar, it’s because he played on those good UNCCharlotte teams in the late 70s. Asked if he played with Cornbread Maxwell, the personable King smiled and said, “Cornbread played with me.” ... Bowman was the third Cavalier in double figures with 10. ... Starks scored all seven of his points in the second half. WEST MONTGOMERY (35) — Robinson 14, Moore 9, Capel 5, Thompson 3, McDonald 2, Atkins 2.

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS President Barack Obama saluted a new spirit of political compromise Friday as he signed into law a huge tax bill extending cuts for all Americans — including benefits for the rich that he and congressional liberals had denounced — along with billions of dollars in help for the middle class and jobless workers. The package retains Bush-era tax rates for all taxpayers, from the working poor to the wealthiest. It also offers 13 months of extended benefits to the unemployed and attempts to stimulate the economy with a Social Security payroll tax cut for all workers. Unemployment benefits will be restored for millions of Americans under the tax-cut measure signed into law Friday. But hundreds of thousands will get no help from the new law because they’ve already used up all the benefits available to them. In the 25 states with unemployment rates of at least 8.5 percent, the unemployed can receive benefits for up to 99 weeks. The new law restores, for 13 more months, the 99-week maximum. But it provides no further benefits.

Competition among smart phone makers is heating up at retail, in advertising and, increasingly, in the courtroom as handset and software makers wield patent lawsuits to protect their turf and slow rivals. Handset and software makers are staking their claims through a growing stack of patent lawsuits over all aspects of basic phone use, from the way a user swipes a touch screen to perform an action to the method a phone uses to extend battery life. Nokia is suing Apple, Apple is suing HTC, Microsoft is suing Motorola and more. A gauge of future economic activity rose in November, at the fastest pace since March, suggesting the economy will strengthen early next year.

Cavaliers’ defense rules BY RONNIE GALLAGHER rgallagher@salisburypost.com

SPENCER — Perched at the top of the bleachers N. Rowan 54 behind the North W. Mont. 35 Rowan bench Friday night were three Cavalier legends: Bob Hundley, Ralph Shatterly and Robert Steele. That was a big part of the karma in the Cavaliers’ 54-35 Yadkin Valley Conference victory against West Montgomery. Oh yeah, defense had a little bit

to do with it, too. Make that a lot. North held Kevin King’s athletic, talented Warriors to a meager 21 points over the last three quarters. The win puts North (5-1, 4-0) alone in first and handed West Montgomery (4-3, 4-1) its first league loss. “It was a statement game,” said HARGRAVE point guard Jordan Kimber. “This is KIMBER a big win.” A large, raucous crowd showed Kimber and brusier Javon Harup Friday and it appeared the fans grave scored 10 consecutive points were in for a game in the hundreds at one point. West’s Michael Robinafter about three minutes. son was drilling left-handed threes.

North girls win

“We knew it was going to be a great game,” King said. While the crowd was roaring its approval early, North coach Andrew Mitchell wasn’t. “I was thinking, ‘We better play play defense or we’re going to get beat,’ ” Mitchell smiled. “We slowed the pace to slow them down. We have a goal to hold our opponent under a certain number of points. We reminded them of that.” It shows the versatility of Mitchell’s team that it could shift gears. The Cavs pulled the ball out

and their defense turned mistakes into points. “We became a a little bit ugly and brutal on defense,” Mitchell said. The Cavs went into halftime up 41-28 and Kimber said the object of the second half was to get the ball inside to their 6-foot-2 stud. “We noticed in the first half that Hargrave was unstoppable,” said Kimber, who had eight assists. So did Mitchell, who saw West double and triple-teaming the big man.

SPENCER —

North Rowan’s N. Rowan 48 girls used W. Mont. 32 the play of Kelli Berry early and Sabrina Vann late to run to an easy 48-32 Yadkin Valley Conference win against West Montgomery on Friday night. Berry has become a for force T o n y Hillian’s club. And during a first half of turnovers and missed layups, she BERRY drilled three threes. Her nine points helped North Rowan (3-3, 3-1) to a 13-point lead at halftime that put the game virtually out of reach for the inexperienced Warriors. “Berry’s a big key to our offense,” Hillian said of his senior’s sweet stroke. “We’ve been working with her since the summer. She’s a set-shooter. We told her every time she’s open, shoot it.” When the fourth quarter arrived, it was time for a Cavalier to step up and seal the deal. That was Vann, a talented post player who finished with eight rebounds and six points. Five of them were VANN the first points of the final quarter. North was up only 32-23 when she scored on a rebound. The next time down, she put in another rebound. Her scoring flurry ended with a free throw for a 14-point lead that was too much for Henry Panzer’s team to overcome. “I told her to do what she does best and that’s rebound,” Hillian said. “She’s one of our best rebounders, offensively and defensively. I told her if she keeps hitting the boards, the baskets would come.” In between the good moments by Berry and Vann, it was a sloppy game of missed shots. Especially in the third quarter when West Montgomery (1-7, 1-4) actually outscored North 8-4. The Cavs helped the Warriors out by missing 15 of 16 shots. “We struggled to score,” Hillian said, “but we got it back together.” North looked good over the final eight minutes, scoring 16 points by five different players — Vann, J.J. Carby, Tiffany Brown, Ronesha Bradley and Olivia Fortson. Berry led North with 11 points but scored just one bas-

Carson’s streak at 7 Cougar girls getting used to winning ways BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com

CHINA GROVE — Carson’s girls Carson 73 beat West W. Rowan 58 Rowan 7358 on Friday, but don’t be fooled by the final score. The NPC game featured wicked runs by both teams. Carson (7-2, 3-0) scored the last 13 points to win big, but the Cougars’ lead was 60-58 when freshman Michaela White stepped to the foul line with three minutes left. Carson sophomores Kelly Dulkoski and Allison Blackwell combined for

eight 3-pointers and 42 points. Another soph, Tyesha Phillips, swung the game. West led 26-24 at halftime, but everything changed when 6-foot-2 Shay Steele, the key to the Falcons’ defense and rebounding, was whistled for her second and third fouls in the first 40 seconds of the second half. Phillips took a charge for that huge third foul, one of four that she accepted. “We knew Shay would be driving and constantly trying to get the ball to the rim,” Phillips said. “I did what I was supposed to do.”

GRANITE QUARRY — The East E. Rowan 58 Rowan girls Statesville 25 jumped out to a 19-3 lead to open the game and never looked back as they easily handled hapless Statesville 58-25. The Mustangs (3-6, 1-2) used their advantages in speed and height to assert themselves offensively and shut down an anemic Statesville offense. Mallory Drew was the leader for East with 15 points, 7 of which came from the charity stripe. In support of DREW Drew, Olivia Sabo and Sydney Poole added 9 poimts apiece. Statesville’s girls looked like deer in headlights from the tip as they failed to get open looks and turned the ball over countless times with lazy cross court passes that East easily intercepted. “I mean, the game was over at halftime. We showed a little bit of heart and hustle late in the game but by then it was too late,” said Statesville coach Todd Jones. East’s length with Olivia Sabo, S y d n e y Poole and center Karleigh Wike made life miserable all night long inside or out- SABO side for the Greyhounds. “We did a really great job tonight hustling and being aggressive which is the number one thing I try and teach these girls in practice on a daily basis. So I’m definitely pleased with the effort and outcome,” said East coach Danielle Porter. Statesville also had one shot per possession and that was pretty much the way it was all night long as East owned the boards. “We just played poorly, could not box out and that’s all about heart,” Jones said. “East showed a lot more heart than us tonight and I’m really disappointed by that.” The loss last night dropped Statesville to 0-6 overall, 0-2 in the NPC. Porter’s Mustangs will no doubt have their hands full at home next Wednesday as mighty Salisbury comes to town.

Easy, cost-effective decor upgrades to ‘wow’ your holiday guests

(ARA) - Will this year’s holiday house guests be seeing the same drapes, throw pillows and wall decor they saw in your home last year? Or even the year before that? If your decor is looking tired - or you’re just plain tired of it - the holiday season is a good time to gift yourself with a few new items that will also refresh your home for guests. It’s easy to make a big decorating impact if you focus on sprucing up areas like windows, furnishings and walls. Consider these helpful hints:

Windows

The cheapest, most high-impact way to make windows look better is to wash them. Seriously. For the price of a roll of paper towels and some window cleaner - and some elbow grease - you can make your windows look great, not to mention brighten the entire room. Once your windows are sparkling, reward yourself for your hard work with some new window treatments. If the holiday hustle and bustle leaves little time for a run to the home decor store, online resources like SeventhAvenue.com make it fast and easy to shop for curtains. Whether you opt for traditional or contemporary, replace curtains in rooms where guests are most likely to gather, such as the kitchen, living room or family room. To top off the holiday spirit of your new curtains, replace standard tie-backs with some festive holiday bows.

Furnishings Replacing every stick of wornlooking furniture in your home’s “public areas” probably isn’t practical for your budget with the expenses of the holiday season looming. But you can refresh the furniture you have with a few simple steps: * Make sure it’s clean. Polish wood surfaces and vacuum upholstery. Dust and dirt will never be a designer statement. * Dress up older pieces with new cushions and pillows in eye-catching colors and patterns. A fresh pop of color can draw the eye away from less attractive surfaces. * If your furniture is just too tiredlooking and replacing it is not in the budget, consider concealment. Slip covers and colorful throws are costeffective ways to refresh older couches, loveseats, dining room chairs, armchairs and even recliners. Choose ones that accentuate your holiday theme, such as “Snowball” slip covers that offer a plush feel and bright colors in a material with a raised, snowball-like pattern.

Walls Walls are usually the largest design element in any room, and updating them can completely rewrite the profile of a space. Painting walls is a low-cost, lowlabor way to refresh a room’s atmosphere and set the stage for a whole new look - even if you just put the same furniture back into the freshly
